I honestly wouldn't recommend buying it to "save" it. Instead, pressure the store owner to fix the situation. Tell him that you're not willing to buy the snake in this condition and ask more questions about its husbandry and health. He probably won't like you, but maybe he'll learn something about customer satisfaction... or better yet, an animal's well-being.
its a small privately owned pet store. my current boss sold the pet store to the owner and it went down hill real quick. i already talked to the owner about how the snake is being kept and she didnt seem to care. she also didnt seem to know too much about snakes. she said an anery red tail is about 2 feet shorter than a normal red tail when full grown.
im going to buy the snake regardless because im in the market for another snake and was looking into boa's for a while. they're only asking $100 for the snake and im pretty sure she said the tank is included.
