Dwarf Yellow Headed Gecko

I was wondering if anybody has any care info on this species? I just got one for free from the pet shop I work at. He came in missing a foot, so I took him in. Trouble is there isn't much info at all on them. Any info would be appreciated!
Thanks!

thanks for the link, but that is care for a yellow headed gecko, I'm lookin for a dwarf yellow headed gecko. And you would think they would be the same just one smaller than the other, but apparently they are from completely different areas. Thnaks though!

Well actually I found a decent website with a little info on them. The yellow headed gecko gets around 3-4", and is from Cuba and Florida. The dwarf gets 1-2" and is from Tanzania and Kenya. There are pics here.

I wish there was more info though. I dont know if they need full spectrum light or not!

Well I emailed them...hopefully they will get back to me. But I can share the info I know right now. They are from Tanzania (Africa I think) and their max length is around 2 inches. They need moderate humidity, and temps around 75-85 during the day, and a 5 degree drop at night. They eat pin heads, fruitflies, anything small enough. They like to climb a lot. I just wonder if they need UVB because I'm pretty sure they are diurnal. The website said they need UV, so I'm gonna get that I guess, or I might just get a UVB. Can't hurt.
