id go to an reptile expo or a good well know reptile pet store or a good online breeder...i see lots of reps at pet stores that look like they are about to die, or have mdb or mbd(lack of calcium )...at an expo u have ALOT of animals to choose from, lots of equipment, u can talk to the breeders, ask about wat they've been eating, how they've been kept. lots of times u can see the parents too. this will make the transition from one keeper to the other easyer for u and the animal.
but thats just me.
