I guess that would depend on the specific petstore. At mine I avoid putting them in the back room at all costs. The enclosures on the floor are small, but the enclosures used for the bad room are half THAT size, usually have generic heating and lighting to try and meet the needs of any and all reptiles carried, and because of the improper husbandry, and small enclosures most if not all of the reptiles put there to "recover" wind up not eating and slowly wasting away. If I can get them in good shape without changing their location or adding any additional stress I prefer that option every time. That is of course a case by case and store by store scenario though.
