Well, showed my mom, she shot it down right away...she's convinced about petsmart's snake...I held one of the two BPs today, I liked it a lot...but I'm still worried it's not the healthy...my mom said "Well, you can tell if it had mites..." I told her that's not the only thing bugging me... (and no, the BP I held and fell in love with did NOT have mites)

If my mom won't budge from a pet store, are there any questions I can do, and particular signs other than the eyes, scales, weight, and respatory?
