Anna,

Definitely looks like Platypholis fasciata (formerly Homopholis).
Nice pattern on the back, often they are more banded.

In my experience this species is very hardy. Keep it dry with occasional
misting and day temps in the 80s and it should do well. It can can drop to
room temperature or cooler at night. I find them most active shortly after
the lights go out. Mine started breeding last year when I cooled my herp room
for the winter and stopped after 3-4 clutches each. They don't 
hesitate to bite,
even babies will attack a finger that gets too close.
