Eric, in a nutshell it can be simple. Some very important factors to consider are Heat (they seem to like it hot.)(75 - 100 is a good range) Hydration (provide a low dish with clean water at all times. (this can be cleaned and filled daily) Variety of foods (Try to stay away from the dried stuff) and finally minerals. Calcium can be provided by means of raw cuttlebone. These guys really love this stuff. UV can be provided by these Active UV heat bulbs. I highly recomend these. (uvheat.com) These are points that should be carefully considered. You will find that there is no shortage on the varience of these points.
Sexing is very difficult in sulcatas. Even in adults it can be difficult although there seems to be a difference in behavior where the males are much more active and agressive than the females. (far frome conclusive.
Good luck with the little (for now) guys. They make dynamite pets.
