I don't know any personally, you can stop into AZ Reptile Center, Predators Reptile Center, or Pets INC and ask someone, also there's the Arizona Herpetological Association website/forums at AHA Forum - Powered by vBulletin (http://www.azherps.com/forums)

Where in the valley do you live? I'm in Mesa & breeding African Rock Pythons & Reticulated Pythons(no clutches this fall yet :()

They are in the big 4, females can get 20' if taken care of well. My babies will be het patternless or patternless if I can find a decently priced male patternless that's ready to breed(doubtful) and will most likely be $75-100. I suggest potential buyers get plenty of experience with other large snakes(burms & retics) before thinking about getting one, they not only are very large and fairly heavy snakes, but they can also be very active and sometimes aggressive(most of mine at least).

Good idea, I used to have one when I was fairly new to snakes. They're pretty cool except if they stop feeding it can piss you off, but be patient and make sure they're being kept properly & they'll eat again.

Good luck finding something you like.
