you should always do research BEFORE you buy an animal. but to answer your question, yes they are the same thing. they shouldnt have alot of moisture because they are a desert animal. feeding should include a mix of green leafy stuff (but absolutely no iceberg lettuce) and i give mine timothy hay as well. no water dish but a warm shallow bath 2-3 time a week for 10-15 minutes. calcium suppliment on th food every other day. that should be an ok start but you should look for some care sheets on the web.

i hope you realize this animal gets 2 1/2 feet long and requires alot of space.
