Thanks to the previous poster for going the normal path, they are beautiful and everyone is different.
As far as the OP is concerned i found this link to all upcoming reptile shows and events. See if there is one close to you i saw one in Pasadena and one in Pomona within the next few weeks. I would take a trip to one of those and get to talking with one of the local breeders to see what they suggest and to get a really nice normal. I would try and buy a normal that was either produced by the person or that was at least a fairly good size, lets say red bull can in diameter.
