Most big breeders can ship cross country so finding a reputable breeder with what you are looking for shouldn't be limited to local offerings.

Big pet stores like petsmart/petco etc. are terrible and should be avoided. Some small mom & pop exotic pet shops are great, others aren't.

Here are a few breeders I like:

There are also a number of great breeders right here on this site!
