I'll put in another good word for Carolina Pet Supply. They are the only place we have found locally that is reliable in having good feeders and a friendly/generally knowledgeable staff. Someone already mentioned the twice yearly shows we have in Raleigh. Google 'Raleigh Reptile Show' if you want more information and a vendor list. If you feed a lot of frozen, you can buy in bulk there for relatively cheap. Reptile Basics is also awesome for any rack/caging/general supply needs, and I purchased an awesome female ball python from ColdBlooded Novelties about a year ago. I think there are also occasionally shows down in Charlotte, though I have never attended one myself.
