Cool! Did you get from them what makes the snake a pastel? And about the snake being taken home in a deli cup, that's totally a non-issue. He has enough air in there, and snakes don't have phobias of being in snug places, most like it - as demonstrated by using hides that barely contain them.

And that breeder was displaying his animals in the acrylic display containers, which I believe were about 2x the size of that deli cup, if not larger. Perfectly sufficient for displaying at a show and transporting home.
