If I've learned anything is don't go by what they tell you at a pet store, most is incorrect or only half right. I worked at Petco for a year long ago and if I didn't go out and do my own research (this is when i was a big arachnid hobbyist 100+ arachnids) what they were having me tell customers was so far off I'm surprised any of the reptiles/arachnids survived at all once leaving the store.
So my advice to the customers were to find the thing you want here and go home do some research for a while, join a forums, or whatever then make the decision. That way they are not only properly informed even after I got done with them but now can make a proper decision.
Also, it's a good idea to check your facts. Post counts aren't everything and don't always mean you don't know anything if its low and know everything when its high. I came to this forum not knowing much if anything about frogs and didn't start offering advice until I was in the 100 post range and still don't often unless I feel necessary since there are way more qualified people than me here but they aren't always around.
So always point them to the care sheet that is at the very top of the bullfrog forum if you aren't 100% sure.
This is not against you in any ways just some newer people might take whatever someone says as fact without checking for a second opinion.
