Thank you! :) It was love at first sight for me. I hope she ends up looking healthy enough in person. I'm so nervous and excited!

Another thing you might do is ask to see the sellers other snakes, if they have any. Look that they are healthy as well.
If any are sick and showing signs of illness, take that into consideration.

Thanks, will do. :)

I always quarantine mine for a week just until i know there's no mites, RI, and they have a good shed I have a sweater box with no holes in it i put the water dish over the heat source and they get a nice sauna bath i did it for everyone over the past month they seem to like it and it makes their sheds perfect just incase they've had a bad shed b4 the 4 i got still had shed stuck to the tops of their spines

Although the exact length of QT depends on who you ask, one week is definitely not long enough. The bare minimum recommended is a month, and most suggest 60-90 days or more.

looks like an enchi, but nice one for 50!

Here are a couple of vids to show you how to open and inspect their mouths. It helped me out alot...

If the snake is healthy, it is worth the $50. I think it has a nice pattern and blushing... Good Luck :gj:

Awesome, cool videos! Doesn't look toooo hard!

Agreed - one week isn't truly quarantine.

Definitely not an enchi - but a pretty snake, and will be even prettier once it's fed properly. :)
