Sound like a good plan to me.

The only thing I would suggest to you is there is quite a few "small guys" that are reputable as well. Just ask on fauna classifieds.

John at JDConstriction is a good guy. I live 8 mins from him and he has great husbandry practices and solid customer service that extends beyond the sale of the animal.
