I'm pretty confident in it. It's not a regular pack-animal pet shop that sells everything without a clue about them, it's an exotic reptile/fish specialty shop. They do a lot of reptile shows and things like that, and I think quite a few local breeders are affiliated with them. So I'm not really worried about parasites or mites or such. I do plan on taking him to the vet here soon just to make sure, and get a checkup.
