Well, you've come to the right place and I think Ball Pythons are a great hobby to get involved with.

A burm or any other snake of that size will certainly be a handful and should only be in the hands of an experienced keeper. Even then, there is still a good chance of harmful bites.

Ball Python bites are nothing to be scared of. Everyone eventually joins the bite club with a smile on their face and a thought of "oh, that wasn't so bad"

Ask questions and read the care sheets. There's no shame in ignorance around here - we've all had to start somewhere and we all have had questions.

Best of luck to you - let us know when you pick up your ball python
