Go to a show! That is the best advice I can give you. Meet and greet people, and find someone you like, who does not brush you off, and go for it! As far as big breeders...here is my advice...if you are going to be buying Hets, and want that warm and fuzzy feeling, I would say start out buying some Hets from the bigger breeders. If you are looking for Albinos, Pastels, Axanthics, or any visual morph, then check out the hobbyists. Do not buy "lines", but what you like. If you see a VPI or unknown Pastel line animal that is amazing, buy it, do not get caught up in buying an animal just because it is from a certain line. Probably one out of four that say a certain line, are not. Not just a breeder who is trying to decieve you, but they might have be decieved themeselves, it might be a cross, ie Graziani x Bell, then what is it....

Go to a show!
