Not being allowed to examine BP

[BCS]

Was this a mail order snake or did you buy it in person and it took three days for the RI to develop enough to be noticed?

I bought her in person. Actually, it was the first time and only time I have ever dealt with an RI. So I guess I was never really payed attention. I have owned, bought and sold BPs and corns for the last three years and never had to worry about an RI so I guess... I don't know. It was learning experience for sure.

Three or so years without an RI and you start to feel confident I guess. So I didn't even look for signs, but the pooping was loud and I found it weird how there was this clear fluid like stuff all over her hide. Whether or not it was there before, I don't know but I also wasn't looking for signs. She seemed healthy otherwise.

I bought her from a breeder, one not super well known and he was advertising off of Kijiji. I did hold her before buying her and the only thing that was off was she was cold, but even my own BPs will roam off the heat once in a while so I never worried about it. I never saw his collection as I waited at his front door when he went to get her in another room. He is mostly known for building rodent breeder racks but does have a small collection. I have never dealt with him since, and I didn't even bother to contact him. I knew I could afford her care and giving her back probably would have been worse for her.
