Silver Streak...good price?

Do you want it for a pet, or to breed?

Without a record of the genetics, you can maybe talk them down in price, if you just want it for a pet. Without any information, the snake is, IMHO, by default, "pet quality," even if it appears to be in perfect health.

I actually prefer the normals, but that is a very pretty animal.

If still interested, you can just ask why they are selling. Sometimes people need to sell in a hurry; accidents, job changes, babies, divorces....life happens.

I was thinking for now, a pet would be nice and maybe use for breeding if I ever get into it. I just love babies :3

So I called the nearest herp vet. $77 for a wellness check and $34 fecal test. Worth it?

Vet sounds high to me.

Why do you want to take it to the vet? Is it showing any symptoms of anything

My view on vet offices is the same as my view on hospitals. Those places are teeming with disease. Doesn't matter how conscientious how the staff is, the pathogens get everywhere.

Presumably, the office gets in snakes with mites. Does the whole place get sprayed down after? Does everyone there change their scrubs? I doubt it. Vets have their place, but IMHO, if the animal isn't actually sick, it may be better off staying at home.

You might ask if you can just send in a sample for the fecal.

I saw a video somewhere showing how to gently hold the head so as to open the mouth, to get a good look in there for mouth rot. I would probably also take a magnifying glass to check around the eyes and anal scales for mites.

Do you have a scale to weigh the snake?
