Well, I hope that it does matter what kind you want, just so your happy with what you get, and in return your snake would be happy.
There are several really well known breeders, then there are some that might be a little cheaper. I myself like "Steve Winkler Reptiles", you can google him, not going to post a link, he is a really nice guy, and will answer any questions you might have for him. He ships Monday - Thursday. Good prices aswell. Hope that helps.

i'm not so sure that I want any snakes shiped to me...

Ever find the snake you lost a couple of weeks ago???

no and it's killing me. I figured that my grandma's cat got him, but then he would have bite makrs on him but he doesnt.

Hm, well if your getting a snake you better know proper husbandry details and such.
This doesn't belong here, it'd be great for a mod to move this.

Your only resort to not getting a shipped snake would be a petstore, which is going to about the same price with shipping and not worth the quality.
Petco ball- 80$
Normal Ball from breeder- 40$ + 40-50$ shipping.

:confused: I must have missed that post...

To comment on the original question, ruling out the option of having a snake shipped to you is going to SEVERELY limit your options. Some of the best breeders in the business are scattered around the country, and do a lot of business online, shipping via fedex. If you're not willing to buy online and have the snake shipped to you, your best bet is going to be to look for a reptile show or expo near you so you can go physically see the animal before you buy. You could look at pet stores also, but by buying from a pet store, you are very likely to end up with a snake with mites, RI, or other illnesses.

If you are just skeptical about buying online, there are several top notch breeders that post on this site. Take a look at some of their websites, send some emails or make some phone calls until you find someone you feel comfortable doing business with. And you can always post up here asking opinions about a specific breeder. The people on this site will be more than happy to share their experiences and opinions.

That being said, a couple I would recommend taking a look at before ruling out online purchases would be:

NERD
8BallPythons
BHB
Ralph Davis Reptiles
J Kobylka Reptiles

These are just the first few that come to mind. I haven't personally done business with any of the breeders I listed, however based on what I have seen and testimonials I have heard, I wouldn't hesitate to buy online from any one of these breeders.

I hope this post helps. I hate to see people miss out on some of the best quality animals available because they're unsure about purchasing an animal they have not physically seen...
