if you arent typing in the scientific name then thats where your problem lies. there is no dwarf yellow headed day gecko.. its just dwarf yellow headed gecko(no day).. you may also want to try white headed gecko to get info..

if you are looking for the actual yellow headed day geck(not dwarf) then scientific name is wayyy off.. yellow headed day geckos scientific name is Phelsuma klemmeri

Dwarf Yellow Headed gecko, or Lygodactylus luteopicturatus.
They have similar needs to Phelsuma species. A 10 gallon is probably adequate since they’re so small. Provide UVB, feed apropriately sized crickets, but also CGD, or pureed fruit. Humidity should be an average of 80%, heat should be 78-82 ambient, 90 for basking, and a drop to 74-76 at night. I would wait to breed them if you’re new to them. Keep them for about a year before you consider breeding. The adults escape readily, and the babies even more-so.
