I don't have experience myself but they are renowned for being difficult.
A friend of mine had success using rough cork bark lining on the sides and back of a tall viv. He was convinced that made a difference. I think that it does with flying geckos.

I have 'tried' these. As said they are EXREMELY difficult. Most are specialist ant feeders. This alone is difficult for the average hobbyist. I fed mine on heavily dusted crickets and beetles with the odd spider for variety. They will eat other insects in the wild, but somehow they need the ants in their diet. I suppose much like the moloch in respect of needing these in the diet.
