He is guilty of categorizing here, keep in mind that it is very possible for you to find a reliable breeder online. The task is to ask questions to the seller and find out whether or not they are legitimate breeders.
As far as shows go, I wouldn't get one from a show. Find a local breeder (be very choosy) and establish a relationship with him/her. That's the absolute best way to go about it.

i agree it is possible to find good reputable breeders online
i would also meet one of those breeders at a show,to pick up a pre ordered snake
my last 4 snakes were picked up at reptile expo's in Germany
ALL my snakes were got via the internet and show pick ups (from established,reputable people)
that said,i would not just walk about a show and buy from just anyone,there are however a lot of great breeders who attend shows
cheers shaun
