As long as you have his home set up with a warm side of 92-94 and a cool side of 82-84 (measured with a digital thermometer) then you should be all ready to go for a new addition. I would advise you to look for a snake that actively flicks it's tongue and make sure to check for mites. You want an animal that is strong and not limp. Best of luck on the new guy!! Also remember to ask when the last time they ate and what that meal was.
