I don't give either a pass. The OP by his own admission is not a newbie to the hobby and claims to have decades of experience, yet hasn't learned basic concepts like quarantine, not co-habbing animals, researching sellers before purchasing an animal, and understanding industry practices for buying and selling the species he does keep. Even if the OP didn't know about the BOI a simple Google search on the Kicks shows they should be avoided.
If the OP is still reading this thread here's some advice: most sellers of WC critters do not treat for internal parasites. Always ask if an animal is WC versus CBB. If the animal is freshly WC then understand that you are buying a vet bill, which is why they cost so much less than CB or long-term captive critters.
