Using a second hand enclosure

[AS_Legion]

Hi guys,

at the moment I am looking at buying one of the larger snakes and thus would need a larger enclosure. On a few occasions people sell old enclosures that they no longer need that includes all the bells and whistles (heating pad, hygro/thermometre, hides, water dishes, branches, etc.)

Here is my question: Would you buy a second hand enclosure if you are not 100% sure why it is being sold? Would you use the old equipment (esp heating pad)? And what other things would you look out for?
