For the product to last 60 days, in a high enough concentration to cause a severe reaction seems extreme. Not to mention the fact that the enclosure should have been fully sterilized prior to introducing a different snake.

I personally would not buy the snake. It has suffered neurological distress, some or most of which could be permanent. It doesn't sound as if it is being kept in the cleanest/best environment and there could possibly be more to the story than you are being told. I'd steer clear and save my money to buy from a reputable breeder where you can get the snake into your hands with it having to go through a middle man first.
Excellent analysis. You actually saved me from having to type what you said. I almost would have said it exactly the same. Stay away from this deal. Especially if your intention is to breed, why not buy the best (even if the price is a bit higher).
