i believe the sick snake was brought in by underground reptiles it was a male black pastel. i received that snake thru fedex and when i opened the box the snake pooped in the bag and had a respiratory infection underground reptiles asked me to hold it for three days so i did but it was segregated. I will never buy from them again this was the second animal i bought from them that had issues. i should have just sent it back that day i may have touched that snake then others
