Congrats to you!
10 gal will work for a little bit, try to avoid the snake starter kits at Petsmart/Petco, they're over-priced and not so good.
Check your local Craiglist, at least my area has a ton of cheap vivs and many young BPs available.
For a first snake I would avoid a hatchling/baby & get something just a little older (~6-months) with routine handling & several meals taken - your call though...
Make a checklist: viv, UTH, other heat source, acurite thermometers, temperature gun, etc. Most of that stuff is inexpensive, I would plan to spend the most on a decent thermostat like a Herpstat
