Re: Should I?

The one item I did not see anyone mention was records. Ask the current owner for any records -- feeding, shedding, medical -- he has so you can be familiar with the animal's history.

Also check to make sure what and how often he feeds, as you will want to have at least a few identical meals ready to go for the snake's first few sessions.

Good luck!

Re: Should I?

Alright, I decided to not even go look at the snake. I don't have enough knowledge to recognize if it's healthy or not...

But the pet store where I got my milk just had Carpet python eggs this morning, so maybe I'll wait for one of the babies

anyone who tells you this is stupid and doesn't know what they're talking about. I've heard this more times in the past month than I care to count and I'm sick of it.
