Terrible, the way that some pet shops will tell you anything to make a sale, probably providing totally incorrect care requirements!

Yes they did! I had to go get a whole new setup. But its ok. He/she was worth saving! The pet store was totally wrong. Had less than an inch of substrate.. heat lamp.. no moisture what so ever. It had been there a while. I can't refuse a neglected animal. Have a baby bird now trying to save.. its my downfall.. I'm a sucker

The bad part of this is that it encourages the pet store to stock and sell more
Ok long shot lol but male or female?
Looks female

At least it will be cared for properly now.
How lazy are pet shops? Anyone can get online and research the care of t's. They just don't bother!
