Well its hard to say until they determine the exact problem he has.Where are you located? My reasons for asking is because it will alert others here not to buy from that pet store.This could also help you find a knowledgeable herp vet .Keep us posted

Im from CT... and the pet store was petland discounts(they are bad..when i went back to look at their other snakes...they were covered in mites as well).... i dont really know of any herp vets around here, i was just take him to my parents vet or see if he could do anything or recomend one for me...

i dont know what kind of pet police you have in the US but i would report the store to the feds and try to stop them from selling snakes.

hope your new one gets better...

Oh yes... I know where you are. Petland is horrible, when I lived there I also saw the poor snakes and the people that work there don't even give a crap about 'em...
I remember there was this website that you can report people that like abuse animals and are in bad conditions (like in pet stores) but maybe someone else would know it...

I hope it turns out well for you and your snake. IMO its worth paying the shipping costs and buying from a reputable breeder instead of a pet store. They are not all bad though. My oldest two came from pet stores. One was covered in mites and about 10 - 15 ticks. Obviously an import. They are both healthy, very big and breed whenever I give them the chance.

Good luck
