adoption is a wonderful way to go! but the risk that comes from adoption is that you don't know anything about the animal's history or potential past or current health problems. these issues could creep up again and, without prior knowledge, potentially be life-threatening to someone inexperienced. BUT the animal could be perfectly healthy!!! truly, it's a gamble. i'd recommend reaching out or even visiting the rescue center and see what you think for yourself; maybe meet some of the people who work there and chat them up, or meet the animals. if you feel good about the place and the animals, then i'd say go for it.
i think an established adult beep would be a good candidate for adoption. i've adopted a 4 or 5 year old Corn snake from a coworker's friend when they decided they couldn't care for him anymore. he's been with me less than a year but he's amazing and i love him.
