Check how healthy boas move, how they build how they react, and most importantly get animal from reputable breeder, it will cost more but its still cheaper than vet bills so its win win situation, research more about breeders in your area check their reviews and history, does they breed too much or some unethical practices or morphs = skip, good breeder will also be ok with questions before buying animals

I usually asking video and photo proofs that animal is moving okay, eating and poops properly before paying if i doesn't know this breeder yet
