Whatever you do, don't believe the healthy vet checked crap that you're told. I purchased a snake from this location and it infested my entire reptile room with snake mites! After 3 months and hundreds of dollars later i have returned their low quality animal back to the store for a refund!!! It never ate in all the time i had it and I tried every method, just shy of force feeding, to get it to eat with no success. It was not dying on my watch. Let their 'vet' deal with it. And i'm still dealing with 25 of my other snakes that were exposed by bringing their inferior quality livestock into my home. i have been keeping reptiles in excess of 25 years and even the animals I've purchased at retile shows never gave me the problems that i have now. i have 15 tarantulas that now have to be taken from their enclosures and everything disinfected manually because all treatments in the reptile room will kill them. They now must be housed in another part of the house while the room is fumigated!!! I do blame myself for part of this... The part where i believed the store employee that their animals are all vet checked and treated for illnesses and parasites!!! Their animals need to be quarantined and preventatively treated before any exposure to any other animal in your home!!!!i have thousands of dollars invested in my reptiles and I am terrified that there will be losses! Already i have snakes that have never skipped a meal refusing to eat.And for the record, it was their employee that admitted to me that the snakes that were in their enclosures were all in their 'back room' being treated for a mite infestation!!!! i only found this out because i asked where a snake was that i had been interested in buying. It took 48 years for me to actually experience the meaning of "let the buyer beware". Now i get it...
