    Check around the eyes to see if you can spot any signs of mites. Make sure the snake is flickering its tongue and has a nice pink/reddish color to it. No stuck shed. You are going to want to make sure the snake looks overall healthy.
    Exactly this. If you can find the show promoter on Facebook they usually list a vendor list so you can do some research before you attend the expo.

    I would also have the quarantine enclosure set up and running for several days before the expo to make sure you can care for your new critter before you bring it home.
