Ah, I am sad to hear she was in such bad shape. Did they say why she looked like that?

He said only that all his adult female vents where like that, so we stopped looking at adult and got some babies instead. We didn't mention anything about the belly, and the scales on one side of her face were all shriveled up and it looked like there was at least 2 shed caps over that one eye on the same side of the face it kind of looked like a scab in the middle of the eye.

Wait a minute, he said that all of his adult females were missing their anal plate? errr... I'm not sure I would have even bought any babies from him after that revelation. Scales just don't fall off for no reason.
(BTW: does anyone else find it strange that it's called an Anal Plate even though snakes technically don't have an anus? The correct term for reptiles is cloaca so shouldn't it be called the cloacal plate? )
