These little geckos are very easy to care for.  I’d recommend a ten gallon aquarium, although something smaller is probably fine. A screen lid would be a good idea, although I’ve not seen adults climb much at all, and I don’t believe they can climb glass.  An ambient temp that gets into the low 80s is necessary, but night time drops into the sixties are fine. In a normal home, with normal home temps, I’d suggest one of the little clamp lights that can sit on the screen lid, and a 40 watt or less incandescent bulb. Place the light at one end of the tank and place hide spots at each end.   Sand is an ideal substrate, and not much else is really needed.  Spray the tank down around the time you turn out the lights, and feed them two or three times a week with half a dozen appropriately sized crickets for each gecko. My adults eat 3/8th inch crickets easily.

They do well in small groups, I’ve not noticed any issues with the little group of three that I have in a ten gallon.  Dust crickets with a good all purpose supplement like Repashy Calcium Plus.  Eggs will be laid in the sand, and finding them isn’t necessary, since the adults don’t show any interest in eating the babies.
