Thanks for the recommendation! And I'm UBER impressed that you spelled my last name correctly too!
You're very lucky that we have a lot of great local breeders here. I'd recommend getting one from a breeder, who's going to be available to answer questions after the sale, and help you be successful!
Some other local breeders who'd I'd recommend - Deborah Stewart of Stewart Reptiles, Shaun Pruitt of Prototype Pythons, Albey Scholl of Albey's Too Cool Geckos, Justin Kobylka of jkobylka Reptiles.
