So in the bay area I have a heck of a time finding a good female ball python. Usually all they have floating around are males... Males as far as the eye can see. Anyway~ I found someone selling one on craigslist and I am curious and want opinions on whether or not to get it. It's supposedly female, 2 years old and she is of fair size. They guy sent me a picture and her skin seems pretty baggy so I think she might be dehydrated. Is this something easily treatable? Just liquids and close care? or is this something that requires a lot of care? On a second note, is there any way that I could make sure that she is female? I have been specifically looking for female. Owner says that the person HE bought it from assured that it was a female. Is there any way to be sure on my part?

And the guy said to just make an offer. How much should I offer? She is normal so I know that is gonna effect it, and she is dehydrated so I KNOW that will change some things. Any recommendations?
