    There isn't much written on these frogs. It's proper scientific name is Calyptocephallela gayi.

    Caudiverbera caudiverbera is a mythical name.

    Keep them like Budgett's Frog but with a small land area so they can leave the water if they wish.

    A quick google came up with this site in German and it seems sound. I've put it in the translator for you:

    If you've further questions, have a look at this and see if you can talk to this fellow:
