You just can't choose a supplier. Suppliers usually have their own territories. In your area, you have a choice of maybe up to 4 suppliers. Some locations only have one or two. Suppliers are regulated by the states. If a supplier is out of the area, they are not approved by the state and therefore cannot supply to you. They get the permission to carry certain animals, by the state, and are issued importation permits for such animals. Its government controlled. Retailers have little choice in the type of animal they are offered. Many animals are contaminated at the government operated quarantine facilities.
