Okay, after some more searching and lots of reading...here's what I've managed to come up with. It looks like these guys have basically the same setup requirements as beardies.
They need a very large enclosure with a screen lid, sand substrate, something they can climb up onto to bask, UVB lighting and heat. Their ambient temps need to be 75-85 degrees, and basking temp needs to be 95-105.
They will also need lots of appropriately sized calcium dusted crickets and shed mealworms, and they will eat greens (like turnip and mustard greens), chopped veggies and fruits.
From what I read, an average clutch is 4-6 eggs, and have to be incubated...but I couldn't find very many particulars on that part of things. My best suggestion would be to run some searches on Google and Yahoo to see what else you can come up with...but at least you've got the basics to get you started.
