Actually,

The snake doesn't look unhealthy - it is in shed though.

I'm pretty certain the wooden thing to the right of the BP is, in fact, a home made wooden hide - you can see the size of it in the indentations in the substrate.

If you assume the tank is 12" wide it is a good sized BP - whether it is female of course you should check before taking it.

If she has had it any length of time in with the boas you can also be certain it ( or the boas ) doesn't have IBD as it would be dead living that closely with infected boas I think. If she has only had it in there for 4-6 weeks however I would probably pass.

Either way strong quarantine would be essential simply because of the cage sharing.

Looking at the enclosure it seems quite well maintained considering the amount of animals in it - there's a little bit of shed on the glass but no visible faeces or anything.

It's not the way I would have kept them but, if she gave the right answers to the questions I had, I don't think it would stop me buying the animal and being fairly happy about it.
