Just curious about something... what wellness card are you talking about? Is it something that's at Petco, or entirely something else from another source?

What everyone else said pretty much hit the important points... it's all about the habitat and keeping close watch on humidity and temperature. Also, providing hides in both the warm and cool side of the tank won't make the BP stress out as much and will feel secure.
