Beautiful set up!
Depends on how many you wanted to keep together. IME, they are not super tolerant of each other. Very territorial- mine aggressively and physically repel all others from 'their own' side of slab. 10 gallon should be okay for multiples but would suggest multiple slabs/areas they could call their own. Instead of one or two large slabs for say, 5 marginemaculatus- that probably would bring on a lot of stress and fights plus cannibalism. Basically set it up with the concept of having visual barriers between individuals.
For single housing, they don't need much space. 32 oz deli cup or food canister would be fine. One gallon vivarium/naturalistic set up would be great. I'd be nervous having more than one in this, especially with two males but this species is hard to sex, so...
Cork bark and coco fiber will be fine.
Room temps. They don't seem to mind slightly higher at 80F. I don't measure humidity but it's clear this species appreciates high humidity. Mist regularly & keep substrate moist. No need to let things dry out in between.
I was planning on only housing one, this is helpful thanks!
