Well, my thoughts were this really wasn't so much of a rescue as just that the OP really wants to get the snake, and hesitates because it's from a pet shop.

The OP says that snakes seems in good condition, they claim to have feeding records to show it eats. The OP has already had one bad experience from a pet shop, and so is naturally cautious about the possibility of having another bad experience.

I repeat my advise to get the snake if the OP really wants it. The fact that it is being neglected at the pet shop never came up from the OP, they merely mentioned the too small cage and hide.
