Continued .....
As you've already noticed it's basically an addiction for some people
I can speak from experience having 20 snakes currently with an Anerythristic Mexican Sand Boa coming on the 13th March ... and I still scour the snake classifieds avidly !!!
For now ( whilst you're getting used to keeping your Royal ) you should spend hours and hours of your free time reading through this forum , check on the cafe sheets , check in the help section and generally absorb as much information as you can . You sound like a real bright kid so that should be no problem .
As I said I haven't read through ALL the replies just the first few but you can see that even the experienced guys / gals have different ideas on snake keeping - the saying goes " there's more than one way to skin a cat " which is a tad unfortunate with you having a pet cat - sorry
