Mine are crossed too. You're not the first person to buy an animal in haste- and I'm sure it happens a lot at these reptile expos too, because when there's a crowd of people looking for "that one" great snake for them (& at a good price), it's easy to feel pressured to buy quickly, knowing that if you keep looking & you walk away from that table, someone else may buy that snake before you can get back from seeing what else there is.And some pet stores get a lot of business in "sympathy buys". It helps to take a check-list of things to look for on a snake to make sure it's healthy & to remind ourselves to slow down, really look, & ask more questions.
