That's kind of hard to qualify Melissa. In some way I'd love to hand pick the snake from a snake show but not all snake shows are full of reputable breeders, some can be quite awful from what I've seen and heard. Then you have the flip side of good breeder versus scammer and how does a newcomer know who is who really when it's all online.

It's just one of those things that as a buyer you just have to be really informed, ask tons of questions whether it's in person or online, scope out the breeders before you buy (most snake shows have a website where vendors are listed), that sort of thing. Adam is the one I believe who always says to shop for the right breeder as much as you shop for the right snake.
