Looking to purchase this animal. Wanting to know whether or not it looks 100% before

Hey guys, I am planning on purchasing this animal and am wondering what you guys think of it in terms of signs of illness or anything. It looks fine to me, just want to take precautions before proceedinghttps://ball-pythons.net/forums/webk...187d/imagejpeg

It doesn't look like the photo is showing up. Maybe try posting it again?

Hopefully this helps: https://ball-pythons.net/forums/showthread.php?t=219160

This picture is of him in his rack at the breeder. The breeder is Fred Kickhttps://ball-pythons.net/gallery/fil.../unnamed-4.jpg

Looks fine in the picture. Cute little one.

x2! Adorable.

Thanks guys! I thought he looked good, just wanted other sets of eyes to confirm it as he's going to be the male I center my new project around

Looks pretty sharp!

if you zoom in under his head to those little dots look like mites to you? That is my only concern as it doesnt go with the rest of the edge of the pattern

I don't think mites would be so visible. Looks like they are just patterns. If not, mites are relatively easy to treat with an ivermectin spray, so don't let it discourage you from that gorgeous little guy.

Ya. I just want to be certain as I have read many bad reviews (from a couple years ago) of this breeder as well as some good ones. I think he is amazing, just dont want to drop $800 on a project starter that may not be 100%. Fred has been great dealing with me thus far, I just am a little weary.

that's a gorgeous snake!

I've noticed that it's only those who have very bad or very good experiences who tend to write reviews. Most satisfied customers don't bother. Good luck with your snake, I for one would love to see a progression thread!
