If I may say so, it just sounds to me like you are really excited and I think that's your issue. It's not a bad thing by any means, its just not conducive to owning a snake. When I got my first snake I would go look at him and open the cage and play around and ad things a lot and forget that even though I was getting extreme joy from that, the snake wasn't. All of a sudden he was snippy, and he wouldn't eat. It took almost 2 weeks of leaving him alone (Just water changes) for him to chill out and eat and be friendly again.
Just try to keep in mind, your snake will live for a long time, with the right care, so you will have a lot of time to enjoy him and there is no need to rush now.
I hope it all works out for you!
Cheers.
