Reptile Super Show in Pomona tomorrow!!

[sparky767]

Hi everyone!
Well, I'm headed to the Reptile Super Show in Pomona tomorrow, and I couldn't be more excited!!! I've been pouring over the threads in here about buying a noodle at an expo, here's what I have so far:

1) If I don't get a warm fuzzy from the breeder, don't buy (talking about feeling, not feeder mice lol)
2) Ask to handle snakes I'm interested in for brief checkup/muscle tone/temperment (keeping in mind that they're stressed to begin with.) If they say no, move on.
3) Getting there early on the first day to make a pass, then go back for what interests me. If I fall in love - buy! (I'm only bringing in as much cash as I'm willing to spend.)
4) Questions to ask:
a) what is it currently eating (looking for F/T)? Mice/Rats? What size? How often? When last fed?
b) Any feeding/shedding records?
c) How old is it/when was it born? What is its' current weight?
d) Who were its' parents/what genes does it have?
e) Do you have any paperwork/photos to go along with it?

Any questions you guys think I'm missing?

I've got his/her new home setup (I'm thinking BP, but if I bring home a colubrid I can make the transition easily). Got temps right (I think - surface temps with temp gun are around 80F on the cool side and 90F on the warm side, with ambient temps floating around the low 80s (have an UTH and CHE on hot side (both on their own Jump Start controllers) and I bought a room humidifier which I started messing with today, and already have the enclosure up to the 40%s without misting. Quick mist bumps it to 55%, so I'm dialing that in, but watching it closely. It's a 36"x18"x18" glass (going to order a T8 for its' forever home next paycheck) so it's a tad on the big side, but there are three hides in there as well as foliage.

Any last minute words of advice??? Thanks!

Shawn

PS: I'm new to this, so what does all the 1.0, 0.1, etc., mean in everyone's signatures with respect to their noodles? I'm assuming age, or something like that, but I don't know Thanks!

PS Nevermind, I found the "What does that mean?" sticky thread, so I found what the numbers mean!
