Thank you for the thorough and kind responses. I live in New York (just north of Manhattan) so any breeder that I can visit or pick up from would be a big plus!

Not a big fan of expos but I know it’s part of the hobby/trade. I would be willing to visit one to meet a reputable breeder if recommended.

I’m waiting on my 4 x 2 x 2 AP Plastics enclosure for Roxanne my BP if I’m happy with the quality and the aesthetic, so I was planning on just ordering another one ASAP

My first serpentine love was a female BCI that I donated my free time to an animal rescue facility to care for in grade school. She was big and beautiful but I wasn’t able to handle her outside of her enclosure alone, I was also not even 10 lol

So getting a boy would be fine for me as a space saver but also to keep my options open for my next canine friend. You never know what size your next fuzzy buddy might be.

All makes sense.

Many breeders will not "show off" their snakes except at expos. That might be a good bet. The white plains expo in NY is a good expo and the next one is 4-23-23.

I'd have to check the breeders list but I've seen both really good breeders and some sketchy ones, as well as huge breeders, which you've spoken about.

I would not be afraid to ship from a trusted breeder who knows their animals. Remember, many snakes at expos aren't always themselves as well. Colder, scared, etc. That can go either way. Having said that, it's hard to find a "nasty" boa that has been worked with, although young ones can be defensive.

Just my two cents.
