No, these two species aren't so hard to keep.
Here's a care sheet for the N. wheeleri:

Nephrurus amyae - N. wheeleri

The Strophurus williamsi needs a tank size of around 40 x 40 x 60 cm for an adult
pair. The temperature should be up to 35°C under a basking spot and it should
be a temperature gradient in the tank with lower temperatures of around 20°C
near the ground and up to 28°C at the top during the day.
At night the temperature can drop down to around 20°C.
Some UV is beneficial for them.
The humidity should be around 50 - 60 % during the day. You can mist
the tank from time to time, but not too much.
As a substrate you can use pine bark, coco fibre or a mix of coco fibre and sand etc.
Diet: all sorts of small insects like crickets, small roaches etc., dust the food with
a good calcium/vitamin powder.
Setup: a lot of branches (thicker and thinner ones), plants and a small flat water dish.

And here are pics of the enclosures:

so would the thick tails have the same set up as a knob tailed ( is the knob tailed enclosure the bottom one ? )

Yes, the setup can be similar and yes, it's the bottom one.
