Hey Ethan!
I'm fairly new to the bp world, but I am the same with you when it comes to getting an animal. I MUST KNOW ALL! But other than going to Reptile shows in your area as one of the options (this is great because you can speak to breeders and hold the actual animal), I suggest browsing through YouTube videos which is how I came across my banana bp, Jumbi😁 I got mine from William Herbst who is also here on the forum as WmHrbst and his YouTube channel is 46and2reptiles. I totally recommend him. He's a wonderful guy and he helped me with all my questions before I discovered this forum!

Best of luck and Happy Searching!
