@Exoskeleton Invertebrates Thanks! Also a good example of how pet shops mislabel too.

I have learned these guys like to live in rocky areas "they love rocks!!" if you put a variety of smooth flat rocks in its home it will spend most of its time on top the rocks. They like slightly cooler temps than most terrestrials "rocks stay cooler than air!!" and move incredibly slow as well.
