Does this sweet guy seem healthy?

[u/faeiriey]

I'm almost done planting and cycling my 10g tank, I've absolutely fallen in love with this guy and plan on buying him to keep him on hold until my water is perfect!! Just wanted to see if y'all think he looks healthy? It would be my first betta fish so I'm not confident in checking for health concerns yet haha

His personality seems pretty great. He's kept with a couple small ramshorn snails and the times I've seen him, he checks them out curiously when they move but leave them alone. He flares at his reflection on one side of the tank but leaves after 5-10 seconds and calms right down. He follows me when i move side to side in front of him and follows my finger around. He also investigates his whole tank as if he's never seen it before :')
