Little bit of advice which helped me when I was starting out; you probably know some of this:
A hiding BP is a happy BP, if you're worried you haven't seen your BP by all means do a quick check to make sure they're okay (I do this I just try to limit the time period I do it for)
You have the bug, the bug is something which afflicts many BP/snake owners and is highly contagious! The bug takes the form of a serious addiction and possible withdrawal symptoms of the python regius form and the only way to alleviate the symptoms temporarily is to purchase more of the said python regius. This should cure you for a short period of time but it is not a saving treatment.
Everybody feeds and houses their BP's differently and it can cause some debate so I won't get into that here. There are lots of threads if you're ever unsure of anything or you can specifically ask and someone will be sure to help you out!
WE ALL make mistakes! We all learn as we care for them so if you ever make a mistake don't ever beat yourself up! Ask for advice and learn from it, that's all that matters!
Feeding: hopefully your BP eats like a champ but they can go off food for a variety of reasons such as "hitting the wall" when they get to around 1000g, husbandry being off, food not sufficiently heated, stress from enclosure changes....the list goes on and on
Finally; and most importantly, enjoy yourself and your new pet. You sound happy and you're on the right forum for advice. Good luck
