Did you actually INSPECT the environment? I've noticed that sometimes petshop folk assume that proper care is given...even in the worst conditions.

(I guess they have so many different species to maintain that it's easy to mistakingly house many of the seemingly similar species in the same manner...even when they call for drastically different environments.)

It was actually a customer who happened to come into the store so i cant say what the conditions were
