Mine are kept in a 2'x2'x4' cage at the moment, they are just over 12 months old.
I've never had a problem with mine eating, they all eat crickets or woodies put directly into the cage.
I've never had a serious problem with bullying, i have all 4 in together.
I rarely mist them, but i do live somewhere very humid (in fact, i get wild boydii in my yard). They are in and out of their (large) water bowl every evening.
I offer no heat, even in winter and our house is very open plan and drops to 12C or less.
I like to use live plants with them once they are larger, babies were kept in an incredibly simple set-up.
I'd say in my experience (I kept and bred angle heads in NSW) boydii are as easy, if not easier to keep, bu I never had any issues with the angles except one got a jaw abscess after we moved to Cairns. I think both species are in fact easier to keep than beardies or water dragons, you just don't hear about the thousands of beardies that die due to husbandry every year.
The main thing is to leave them alone (this goes for most herps IMO).
Give them a spray daily if the humidity is low, feed them in a tub if you need to, but leave them be, in a quiet area as much as possible.
