I've gotten most of my balls from different people. I generally like to go with a smaller breeder. Because I'm one of those little fish I know exactly what's it's like to devote all your time and energy into caring for your animals and keeping them A++ and in A++++ conditions. It's hard and bc I do it every day I have much appreciation to others in the same position. Ive also bought from some of the big guys and have had great experiences with them as well. So whom ever you go with make sure the animal is to your liking and standards, well cared for, healthy, and the breeder is of good standing in The BOI. The fauna BOI has saved my wallet a few times. Best of all good luck with the new addition. 
