If it had hooks, than it is a mature male. If you didn't care to look earlier and realize this there is a good chance that it was already a mature male, and this is one of those cases where a mature male tries to molt again. Most of the time they die while in the process because they get stuck in the molt. Very few have actually managed to make it out of a post mature molt and live another year or two. If it does, consider yourself lucky. If it dies, it was just it's time.
Anyways, good luck on the guy. Would be cool if he pulls through.
Also, if the petstore told you it was a female I can GARUNTEE you that they had no freakin clue as to what it really was. Considering they told you bark would be a good substrate and all!!! lol, dumb petstores don't have any clue as to what there talking about. Bet they'd tell someone a Cobalt Blue would need woodchips as well or T. Blondi's like a desert setup! They only told you it was female because they know people only want females. Have you ever heard of someone buying a T from a LPS and them telling the person it was male? I sure haven't.
