Oh yeah, care.

I failed miserably at keeping the larger confused form.  I set them up like all others do...
Cage with a large ground area
4-5" deep substrate of sand, with the bottom inches kept moist enough to hold a burrow
Some smooth rocks or tile
shallow water dish
90F+ basking spot and cool night temps (65-73)

The problem I had with my WC specimens was they would eagerly accept crickets only for a few weeks, and then nothing at all.  I tried everything.  Mealworms, superworms (and beetles of each), wax worms and pupae, and termintes.  My longest living one would only eat soldier termites.  Any animal that is only going to accept a particular termite just won't last long in my collection.

Now, several people do well with them and even breed them.

If you have true Crossobamon, I would set them up similarly and see how they do.
