Yeah Philly! That's where I am too. Where in Philly are you? If you're really gung-ho about buying in person, I got my first snake from the MD Reptile show, which is about an hour south of Philly in Havre de Grace.
They hold it once a month except September because the MAR show is that month. My second snake I bought online from a breeder Colorado Corns: he posts as 'Zorro' on this forum.

Well, I think you already picked one He's free as long as you pick him up If you're interested, tell me, so I can un-block my inbox.
Yes, I am pretty sure I have found a great snake for me. But, you can unblock your inbox anyway, if you want to. You never know, maybe things won't work out.
