If your talking about buying from a petstore that has several then I would say avoid any that are skinny and triangular in section.
A lot of it is going to come down to how good the petstore is and how much you trust them. Check out the whole shop and keep an eye out for mites.
If everything seems healthy and happy then pick the snake you like best - and if you don't like any of the ones you see don't be afraid to wait until one you do like comes along. They live a long time and if you aren't keen it's a long time to clean up its poop.
