Also, let them just stay in their enclosure for about a week after you get him/her. Don't feed it, don't handle it, nothing unless it's a dire emergency like the house is on fire. Afterwards, start with small incriments of handling time (ten to fifteen minutes at first usually is a good starting point) until you know how he/she reacts to being handled because you don't want them stressing out on you too much. Be sure to ask whomever you're purchasing the snake from what they have been feeding your snake, that way you have somewhat of a starting point for food. I know this is a lot of info and someone please correct me if I am wrong on any of this! Good luck and have fun.

PS- I was like you too, I was able to hold out for five years but I have just purchased my second and my third is on the way! So, yes, welcome to the addiction my friend!

Honestly I saw the tubs they use and I really don't like them too small, and they collect allot of moisture and Mold is my worse problem I am allergic to mold and my little brother inlaw is worse with mold than me. I am thinking about a 5 or 10gal but getting one of those tank pictures you can get for fish etc, but get like a greenie poster kind so they feel more secure
