Do fat-tails have the same needs as leopards? if not what are the differences?

They have the same basic setups and housing requirements. The only thing that is slightly different is that they require a slightly higher humidity than leos do.
Here's a good care sheet if you're interested in one:
African Fat-tailed Gecko Caresheet (Hemitheconyx caudicinctus)

I've noticed that Fat Tail babies are more skittish than Leo babies, but Fat Tail adults seem to be more tame than Leo adults. Fat Tails are slightly harder to breed than Leos. Any they are pickier eaters, but in general both make great pets.
