About three months ago I got the snake craze. I started out wanting to buy a corn snake just because everyone kept telling me they were easier and more active and made better beginner snakes. Ultimately my research led me to this forum though and the more I read about ball pythons, the more I realized that I really wanted to own a ball.

So, I just got home from my dorm (tonight!) and I am home for the summer and I am extremely antsy to buy my snake.

Where do you guys think I should buy one from? I was thinking a breeder and would have to have it shipped. But near the end of June there is going to be an expo/reptile show in San Diego and I was thinking of maybe picking one up there. Is that a good idea? Would I get a bigger bang for my buck there?

I'd appreciate any/all input! Thanks!
