Don't EVER be sorry for asking questions about your interest in snakes. People on this site are excellent helpers; we all want you to become an excellent snake parent.
It's better to avoid the pet stores because they often have employees who don't know much about properly caring and providing for snakes. Sometimes they sell snakes with problems that require an experienced keeper.
The site: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/
has many sellers, good advice, and the Board of Inquiry (BOI). You can search sellers to see what has been posted about them, both negatively and positively. Check the BOI no matter where you find your new friend.
Or what about the SPCA? I have a couple rescues from them. My 11 yr old cousin got her first snake, a lovely anery corn, from the SPCA.
Just remember, snakes last a looooong time, so you want a really good fit!
