I'd keep them same as any other small terrestrial Diplodactylus sp. such as D. conspicillatus, D. galeatus, D. tessellatus or D. vittatus. D. damaeus are found in arid to semi-arid areas, usually with spinifex. They are said to be a "swift-moving gecko that forages in open areas and shelters in insect and spider holes." (Wison & Swan, A Complete Guide to Reptiles of Australia.)
I would imagine the article in Gecko Vol. 2 #2 by Andreas Laube: "Captive Maintenance and Breeding of Some Ground Dwelling Australian Geckos Part II: Diplodactylus byrnei (Lucas and Frost, 1896), D. tessellatus (Gunther, 1875), and D. steindachneri (Boulenger, 1885)" would contain useful information given the similarities of these geckos. (Though I have not read it myself.) I keep D. vittatus & have a pair of D. galeatus arriving soon.
