I dont keep them but i imagine they would be fairly straight forward to keep-

ie heating: 28-30deg at one end of enclosure, dropping to around 24-26 at opposite end
substrate: peat moss or river sand
housing: anything from a tank to a small storage tub (not sure, but i have a hunch they may
be aboreal- so lids would be required)
feeding: 3-5 crickets a day/ fed 2-3 times a week- dusted with vitamin and cal.
UV: i dont think they are dependent on UV

Purely guessing here, so hopefully someone with first hand knowledge can correct me and offer you more help.

I wouldn't heat marbled gex, imo its too much risk to over heat them so don't heat them at all. They occur in southern Australia and will thrive at room temp, I've never heated adults, juvs or eggs and had a lot of success with breeding. Best kept in tubs with tight fitting lids and solder fly wire over any vents, they're aboreal and very good escape artists.
