Concerned first time owner help please!

I can sympathize with your being a new snake parent. It was only one year ago that I got my first bp, (and you can see from my signature I've added more kids to the family!)and she was my first snake, too. Your nervousness shows you care and you are going to be great! Do your research, as I'm sure you have, and take advantage of resources such as this forum to get good advice. Use your instincts about your animal when choosing the advice you take. I'm still a nervous Mama sometimes, but it's gotten easier. Good Luck! Be prepared for a fascinating experience. If you're like me, your heart will expand ten fold!
