I've heard that the only real difference in care with african fat tails and leopard geckos is that fat tails like all of their hides moist. Is this true? are there any other care differences?
AFT vs. Leo

and provide that moister habitat with a moist hide, it is no different, maybe throw two moist hides in if you want but really the care is the same
also, AFT usually don't like worms that much

I think you should due a big re check, fat tail and leo care is different
*fat tails require alot more humidity while leos like a dry enviroment
* Leos will eat anything from meal worms, crickets, etc but fat tails are very picky especially wild caught ones and will usually only eat crickets and roaches but can convert to meal and super worms
* fat tails are more calm while leos are jumpy for the most part
I keep both and i bet you dont keep leos like this
*fat tail cage, keeps 1.2 albino stripes which have been breeding and laying eggs since nov*
A cage like this would kill a leo, there not the same as fat tails and come from totally different enviorment
No need to mist, the way i have the bins set up is when the water evaporates from the heat only very little of the water escapes through the holes. I just dump the water that accumulates on the top back into the eco earth and only ad additional water when its getting dry on the bottom or if its close to them laying just so the eggs dont dry up or i miss them by a day or two

No re-checking needed.......I've kept and bred both.......In the same rack, on newspaper, with a lay box........They come from the same environment, in slightly different niches.........The only difference is one comes from a Termite mound, the other from deep burrows, all of which are around 60-80% relative humidity..........Again, no difference in care between the two........
