Thinking of getting this one

Can anyone tell just by looking if this MBK looks healthy or not. Just got a response from the seller and am considering going to get it. Look like there may be a bend/issue near the end of the tail. Or not?

BIGT,
It's hard to say from the photo. When I zoomed in on the photo it looked okay, but I would certainly ask the seller specifically about the tail and any other health issues.

Good luck and keep us posted

I think it looks fine from the pic.the tail looks like it is contoured to the mold of the tub it is in to me. I would get it if it was what I wanted.

It's hard to tell in the pic T. I think it's worth driving over for a closer look. MBK's are really beautiful snakes.

Is the mbk male or female, not that it matters. Just curious.

Looks like a nice snake, can't see anything wrong from just the photo.

Re: Thinking of getting this one

Well the question is are you planning on breeding it? If not, even if the tail has some kink issues its all personal preferance. I agree with tarranaut, looks like its the tub as opposed to the tail. If the tail is kinked and you don't care, use it to haggle.
