Hello fellow Texan :) A great place to visit would be the NARBC (reptile show) in Arlington, Tx. It's going on Feb. 12-13th and they usually have a great variety of ball pythons. That's where I picked up my first BP, and there are a bunch of people you can talk too and possibly pick up some cheap stuff for your tank. I plan on going again this year, even if I don't plan on getting anything ;) It's a bit of a wait, but I would definitely go there before purchasing a ball python if you are able. It's totally different to see these morphs in person.
