Welcome to the forum! It's so nice to meet people who take the time to do the research before obtaining a pet!

You've come to what I believe is one of the best forums out there for BP care and there are also some fabulous breeders on here who share their wisdom with us!

If you go to Kingsnake.com they have a listing of all the shows around the country on their home page. That's how I keep up with what's up-coming.

Also, many breeders will ship and will send you pictures so that you can hand pick your baby that way. Be careful at a show that you aren't picking a baby from a tank of wild caught or captive hatched babies.

Any questions ask away! You'll be sure to get thoughtful informative replies!
