At a foot and a half, it will be no problem. However, it is not easy to find homes for Burms once they get big. Be prepared to be stuck with a massive (10-15FT long and in excess of 100lbs) snake that needs an 8ft (minimum) enclosure, multiple people to handle, eats rabbits and craps like a clydesdale. As far as tips if you do take it in. Give it a week to settle in, then get it right to a vet. Practice strict quarantine from your other snakes. After that, its just a matter of starting slowly with small prey items and building up to an appropriate weekly meal. Best of luck.
