I didn't jump right into it, I also had conflicting parents, but either way I did alot of research. And I have not made any mistakes like this.

First impresions are very important, and they make a person, so when you start off the way you did it sent up a lot of red flags and gave everyone a bad view of you. So just take a chill pill and relax, just sit back, watch, and learn...you will learn a lot by just doing that.
Well i have been keeping snakes since i was around 5, and got my first ball python when i was around maybe 13 or 12, whatever age you are in 6th grade... I did a lot of research on the species, made my own book out of it (No not a real book) and bought the ball python manual, and all that stuff... So i was already set on the husbrandry and care of these animals (No where in any of the books i read say to quarantine and i had not known of it, because i just started ordering snakes online and whenever i bought them from reptile shops they never told me to quarantine, but thankfully now i know to quarantine my animals, courtesy of ball pythons dot net But anyway, i just started wanting to breed ball pythons, and attempted it at first, but wasnt successful, and now i have done a lot more research on the subject and think i have a better shot of it this time But yea, i definately do ALOT MORE research now, then i ever have before
