Well BJ, the information concerning breeders of quality ribbon snakes has been presented to a degree. The choice is yours, and it doesn't begin or end with our opinions of the availability of the animals. As you can see the dichotomy runs deep. All we are trying to do is put the information out here for your perusing. Just continue to do your research and ask questions of the breeders / sellers once you are prepared to buy. Good luck and hope this helps.
