Well the book you read was a good choice. I believe its the best book out there on B.P.'s and its always good to gain as much info as you can about the animal your choosing.
As far as some people on this forum who've kept herps in general let alone snakes for year, I'm a rookie. However, I've had my male BP for close to three years and my female bout 1 1/2. One thing I see all the time, since I work in a pet store, (yes I'm the evil person in the pet store industry, lol) that people will often give up on their ball python due to their long seasonal "fasts" and at times can be quite finacky. But dont let that discourage you by all means. One thing I've learned workin with these particualr animals is they most definatly teach you patience. As long as the animal is drinking on its own and has decent body weight, mean the backbone or ribs arent "sticking out" they can easily go months without food.
any questions can always email me
