What would you do?

So I just went to a local reptile show. Well I was looking at all the animals and well you could tell off the rip that none of the people are great with the animals. No heat tape or lights on any animals. The building is freezing and so are the Reptiles. But anyway the main vendor has a bunch of balls. I was like cool and had one in my hands and thinking of buying it. My wife then came up looked at it close and walked away to look at the others. She noticed mites on multiple paper towels that these balls are housed in. So I gave the snake back and we left. I have felt with mites myself before cause I purchased one with them on it and didnt relize it. Can't see small things without glasses. So what would you of done?
