Breeder question

About two weeks ago I bought a 3 month old GTP from a breeder near me. After three days of having it, it rectal prolapsed on me twice. Fortunately as a vet student I have access to a great clinic. They ran a fecal and the snake is infested with coccidia, which i am treating it for. I love this snake, but I do not want to keep a non-health animal after such a large investment. The breeder is allowing me to return it for a full refund.

Are the problems I had common and harmless, or should I take the opprtunity to give him back and seek out a healthier breeder?



Thanks,

Baio
