Should I ask him to do anything specific when he is checking her out or anything?

Also I'll be taking her in the bag she was shipped to me in and that will be in a box so less stress on her in the transport. Will that be good enough for her?
If I were you I would ask him some basic questions about snake care during the visit. You'd be surprised how many vets that claim to see reptiles know diddly squat about them. If you know more about the proper husbandry than they do I wouldn't trust the diagnosis. Not to say he isn't a great vet, I've just heard some crazy stuff come out of vets mouths when it comes to snakes.
