Well, first off, welcome.

Secondly, I think you need to evaluate your setup before you get your animal. Put your initial money into the AWESOME housing you will be putting your potential snake in, and then save up for the animal. It would not be a good idea to do it the other way around, and have a expensive snake in a shoebox under your bed

EBN is good people. I suggest talking with them.

Look around (search for threads to find your answers), take some time, ask some questions, etc..

It'll be fun!!!
