    ...Make sure you have homes for low end morphs and normals, and make sure that you have enough money to not need to make back what you're going to spend in food.

    That's my advice.

    Tip 1: Grow her up to breeding size first. It'll take at least a year and a half - probably more.

    Tip 2: Spend that time learning as much as you can and deciding what morphs you like. If you still want to breed in a year, you'll be much better prepared.

    Tip 3: Don't worry about money. It's tough to save money while buying snakes and all of the necessary supplies early on. In fact, it's quite easy to bleed money for at least a couple years.

    Tip 4: Enjoy your new snake!

    Depends on how handy you are and what tools you have available.
