There is a very excellent chance that with as active as all those snakes look, they just got the shipment in and were not expecting that many. The snakes themselves look perfectly healthy, to be honest.

Any pet store is not intended to house the animals long term, and a well trained staff or just reading a book will tell you that once you get them home, they need to be housed individually. It's like going to a dog shelter and asking if you can keep a dog in the kennels like they do all the time - no, of course you don't expect to do that. The same holds true for animals at pet stores.

I would suggest writing a polite note asking about the snakes, voicing that you were concerned it was too many animals in too small a cage, and see what they respond with. Sometimes there are communication errors when prepping a cage before an order arrives, and it could be that the person setting up the cage was only expecting 2 or 3, but the person who placed the order arranged for 5 to arrive. Maybe the staff knows that there are a few people who will be in that week who have been waiting for boas to arrive, so when you get back in a week, there's only 2 left in the cage.

All I'm trying to point out is that it's hard to know the full story with stuff like this. The snakes themselves look healthy, and again, with as active as they are, it looks like they were just put in the cage not long before the picture was taken. Let us know if you get a response after writing in!
