If you were to go the route of feeding before buying, which is recommended, I would work something out with allowing them to hold the snake for a few days before you pick it up.

Hmmm...That is a good point. Most of the time when I get snakes I dont see them eat but then I know the owner of the store I buy my snakes at so I trust him. You can try asking someone who works there and then check the snake over to make sure it is a good weight. But this is still not a fool proof method. So I would probably agree and ask if you can work something out with the store.evilxyardxgnome;2496333; said:
In that case, I'll probably just make sure that the store has a good exchange policy if anything were to happen with the snake being ill. The LFS's that have snakes I'm looking at are very trusted for the fish I purchase, so I'm fairly confident in the quality of reptile that they carry.
True in a store you see the snake first hand which is great but a breeder usually blows away pet store snakes when it comes to colors.
A show is like a huge box of crayon colors when it comes to corns and CHEAPER than pet store .
The type of colors you like are great because they hold even as old adults they dont fade out like some other colors.

I had two corn snakes. make sure you understand a captive snake is going to live longer than the average snake in the wild. also understand that the snake is going to get 6 ft long if your feeding it right. peroid. i had to sell mine. it was to much work cleaning and handling two 6 ft monsters... and to think i wanted a boa at first... mistake.
