:If anyone claims their snakes are eating, ask them what they are eating, and at what frequency. They should be able to answer this with no hesitation. They should also have food handy, and should be able to feed that snake on the spot for you. If it eats, buy it.
So often, I see this advice. I have to wonder about this, though. If everyone that is interested in buying a snake asks to see that it feeds, won't it get full and refuse any more? I also have to wonder about the wisdonm of feeding a snake that is going to immediately be travelling. Surely, if it is traveling, it will do so much better with an empty belly!
I wouldn't ship an animal that had just been fed, and I wouldn't expect anyone to ship me an animal in that state. I also don't even try to feed them for at least 48 hours after their travel is completed (I did feed after 24 hours when I was a newbie, but now I feel that being patient is the wisest course).
