    If you could go look at it i would pick it up in a heart beat. The 2 things i could only think of is it might be a newly hatched pied that has not eaten yet, in which case i would possible turn it down. Or it is his girlfriends snakes and he is selling them because of the bad break up, which could lead to legal issues. Go check it out, and tell us how you made out.
    If you live near NY, and dont want it let me know ill go get it lol:gj:

    I figured that the 80 gallon tank was too large, I think I will just go buy a smaller one maybe a 33 gallon or something that will work for at least 8 months or so..

    I asked for some addition pictures as he looks to be a bit on he skinny side, the guy selling him also said he is still fairly small. I'm thinking the care may not be too good, or he just hasn't been feeding him properly. I want to be sure all is good before I make the 3 hour round trip.

    I will post pictures when I get a couple more in a few hours. That way I can get a few opinions on how he looks.

    Sounds good.

    My guess is that they aren't eating well do the to massive cage size.

    Yes, I will reduce he cage size immediately and slowly up the size of the food. It may be a bit of work to get him where he needs to be, but I think it will be worth it for a couple hundred dollars.

    I may just buy his lights and leave the rest behind... I will know better when I get there and see where and what he has been living in, hope no mites or anything... Mind you, if he did have mites being almost all white I'm sure they would be easy to spot.

    When I see him in person what should I be looking for?
