Seconding checking into your local herp society. They show up at the expos and if you're worried about a child, adults are inherently less flighty and bitey b/c they're less terrified of everything. They'll have an established personality already, and you'll be helping out an animal without a home and it'll be a good introductory animal for family members who aren't as into the hobby.
Edit: Had a similar experience to Crowfingers with my BP's breeder (small scale). Gonna be going back to them for the inevitable hognose and/or KSB.
