That's good that you are going into this with experience. I didn't mean to imply that you were unable to care for it. As I'm sure you know, caring for a giant is at least a 2-person job, depending on the species/locale/age/gender of the snake and a lot of injuries are caused by keepers being overconfident, so it's definitely a good thing that you already have a backup plan in case your roommate was unavailable for some reason.
