keep them between 20-25c and mist them a couple of times a week. They like to come out to drink from decor/glass, but don't generally spend a lot of time in or on their substrate, so it's ok to let it dry out a bit. I keep their substrate much like I would for millipedes, decaying wood, leaf litter etc.
They're actually semi arboreal, so they will chew a ways into dead wood and sort of hang out in it, and then wander about looking for food. They really like to climb up and about on cork and branches.
Because they're arboreal, I suggest making some overhangs or something in the enclosure out of wood/cork, at eye level or you may find they all crawl up to the top of the enclosure and hang out out of sight up there. I basically mimicked a woodpile with some taller branches and there's usually one or two in sight as they're diurnal.
I've had a lot of success feeding them on apple, pear, broccoli stalks, carrot peelings (they don't much like solid carrot but peel is more attractive) and the odd protein, I add dried mealworms to the enclosure sometimes, which go down well. I sometimes dust those with calcium powder because their carapace is quite hard and I don't think extra supplements go amiss. They also love bee pollen, but they're not big on the jelly pots.
Speaking of which, they are not a species that eats their molts, so you might have to pull those out of the enclosure sometimes, because they genuinely look like dead ones, til you pick them up and realise they've been 'unzipped'
