if you want them to breed you need sandstone layers slightly moist with some peat or spagnum moss and dont heat the enclosure to much as they arnt that keen on to much of it as they live in deep sand stone crevices during the day where its cool. i used to keep my cage temps at a maximum of 26 degreess with success. there are 2 really good books that will help you out if you want to get into these guys. the first one is called keeping australian geckos by Rob porter which is only $20.00 and the second is about all australian lizards and thats called keeping and breeding australian lizards by mike swan costing $70.00. ill see if i can find some enclosure pics for you. but get one of the two books i mentioned you wont regret it.

Have a look on Herp Trader, also a lot of pet shops sell it, I got a copy at a pet shop in Western Sydney.

Lighting, Temperature & Humidity

Use full spectrum UVB lighting for your Satanic Leaf-Tailed Gecko. Use incandescent bulbs or a ceramic heat emitter to provide a heat gradient ranging from 65 degrees F to 80 degrees F during the day. Keep the lights on for 12 hours. At night, drop the temperature down to 60 degrees F to 65 degrees F. Keep the humidity levels around 85%.
Housing

A 10 gallon glass aquarium will sufficiently house one or two Satanic Leaf-Tailed Geckos. Bigger is always better, but these guys do not need much more room than that. Make sure the screen top is snug and latched in some fashion. For the substrate, peat moss or other mulch type covering works best. Provide dark coloured branches for climbing, and hide boxes of some kind. Cork bark works really well for hiding.

I don't keep them, but i see many in the wild.

This is the type of habitat they live in, they like to hide in cracks(often very moist) between large rocks.
