Thank you!
@bsd13 - I tried to look into Chris but couldn't find anything from him later than 2013, which gave me the impression that he had left the business.
@Gio - we found LOTS of places online, and DH was seriously considering a couple of them, but we really wanted to explore our local options before resorting to ordering a snake through the mail.
UPDATE: last week when we were out visiting the local Herp shops, one of the owners said he has a contact who is relocating and wanted to slim down his collection, and today he contacted DH with some text pics of some of the available Carpets - he has fallen for a very pretty Tiger/Jag/Jungle girl, we'll be bringing her home at the end of the week. :)
Not ruling out other additions to our burgeoning collection in the future, so if anyone knows of any breeders in the Phoenix or Tucson area, I'd still love to hear about them!
Cheers!
