95% of my collection was purchased online, I am picky and rarely have I found an animal that I wanted to buy at the show, buying online offers me a wider variety of choices.
It's all about whom you are buying from, there are great breeders selling both online ad at shows, great breeders only selling online and great breeders only selling at shows just like there are shady people as well online or at shows or people with animals I would not come within 10 feet.
Bottom line doing research on the breeder before the purchase is really a must and you can do so here http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...splay.php?f=13
