I understand wanting to talk to a breeder, and ask a lot of questions about potential snake purchases, and going to a show seems like the best option. However, don't be afraid to email breeders and ask them questions. I have 2 BPs, and they both came from Garrick from royal constrictor designs. I've asked him an embarrassing amount of questions, and he always answers. I've also spoke to him on the phone once, and he is more than willing to answer question, and give more info than needed.
