Stunning little critters and I have to say I wouldn't mind some of these one day myself.
Send Buddy a PM and hopefully he can help you with some info.

Thats a Quote from Buddy there, if it's any help. Link is here to his thread :)Thanx folks...
Joe , once settled in they are a very hardy little critters....
They like a deep substrate of fine sand for burrowing and a few pieces of bark, flat stones to burrow under as they don't take to caves like leos, ect....
Keep their hot side at around 90-95 and an ambient temp of 78-82, with a slight night time drop of around 5-10 degrees and they are fine....lightly mist their enclosure each evening along with a shallow water dish, only a few mils of water, and you're laughing !!

Lovely little gexx to keep ...the one with the re grown tail looks like a male in that second pic but would need a side view of the other to sex it.
Lightly mist their enclosure each night and keep a shallow water bowl, about 3-4 mm deep, in with them ; feed them with small size 1-2 crickets, small roaches, fruit flies every other night and dust their prey with nutrobal, etc every 3rd feed ; keep a shallow dish of calcium powder in with them similar to with other nocturnal gexx...
very rewarding little critters and hilarious at night time with their active hunting of prey, their tail displays and the occasional chirping of the males at their lady friends, lol....
