Welcome!!!! If the ball python is in good shape and eating you will be fine IMO as long as you read the care sheet on here and and keep them properly. You have to start some where. Just make sure it looks good, is eating regularly, what it is eating and how often they feed it. If it is coming with a heat lamp make sure you have a temp gun so you can properly measure the surface temp, and a seperate thermometer to measure they air temps.
