Ben,
You grew up with your mother showing Collies. Start right there. Do you still know anyone in the dog show areans? ASk questions. Get as much info as possible of the whos whats and hows. If the dog show community is naything like the herpers, they would be more than happy to offer the info.
Oh, and don't forget about all of the licenses and legal stuff too! The governmetn tends to frown on us herpers. All sorts of laws and local ordinances have been passed to prevent us from keeping our animals. I lived in Philly and you cannot keep large snakes legally. But this is a discussion better suited for another post.
Anyway, i spend a lot of time online researching stuff. If you wuld like some help, let me know.
Jim
