Alot of the state's are going to be hard to ship to this time of year. I'm in NC myself and still have to wait for decent over night temps to have one of mine shipped to me.
Depends also on what you want, do you want a pet or do you want an "investment" ball python.
I've purchased from garrick at royal constrictor, xyz, a local breeder to me that's getting pretty big, and also my latest purchase from JKR(one I'm waiting to be shipped now). There's also BHB and Conley, so many good breeders out there. Alot of breeders also feed live, if you want one on F/T BHB would be one to look at as that's what Brian tries to feed unless he has no other choice.
If you find something you like some where, just look for reviews on that breeder to see what you can find out.
