As for breeders, since you're on the east coast there are a bajillion!!! I only have experience with the east coast breeders NERD and 8Ball; both are top notch!!
There are tons more, just look through the ads on this forum and use the forum's search tool for breeders. Most breeders are amazing stand-up people!

Good luck searching for that perfect snake!!!!!
Sounds good, I'll look into that. Thanks for your help. This definitely gets me moving. If anyone else would like to tackle the "setting up the tub" process, I'd be grateful for that, too. I only have a general idea.
