    Male normals are a dime a dozen-

    Supposedly.

    Except I can't find them.

    Help a newbie who hasn't figured where to go for this stuff?

    I'd like to find a decent breeder, who ships, and actually has male normals (or normals at all). I'm not looking to breed (ever), I don't care what it's het for or not, but I *would* still like to find a decent quality, ethical breeder who could get me a well started snake. If I have to go for some fancy morph to get that, I will, but the truth is... I just want a second snake, and I *like* the normals. Just not enough to go to a crappy pet-store to get one.

    I guess it depends on your area, but Craig's List seems good out here.

    There's no need to pay for shipping on a male normal. Contact local breeders and let them know that you want one as a pet.

    This... Look for local breeders in your area and start asking around. I don't know where you're located, but if there are any reptile expos in your area, stop in to the next show and you're sure to find some really cheap.

    Another possibility is that if you can't find someone locally producing male normals, ask around with some other breeders. I know when I was looking for my first snake, a couple of breeders from this site offered to send me a free normal male if I paid the shipping... I'm not saying that you WILL get the same response, but it's possible.

    Goggle reptile show and the name of your city, you might have one near you and not even realize it. Craigslist is ok IF you know what you doing, you might find one free, but you might also find mites, stuck shed, skinnyl and a plethora of other issues, hence needing to know your stuff. Also be careful, bps are a bit like chips, once you have one, you want another. And another, and another, and so on.
    Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?

    Never argue with idiots. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with their experience.
    Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

    Yeah, I've looked around and I can't find a local breeder. I'll spend some time poking around the kingsnake classified too.

    I DID find a rep show coming up, that I may check out, if I can get one of those days off work. It's not close (gas would be more than shipping), but it might be cool for the experience, anyway. ...Odds of me walking out with one snake though might be pretty questionable. LOL.
