While I am not an expert on rock pythons I do keep one currently and have had experience with them. The temperment can be a bit advanced (for lack of better term) but I have seen variation. My rock has yet to attempt to strike any human but I by no means will ever take this for granted. The care is roughly the same as a burm but they are native much further from the equator. They are still pretty easy RI catchers though so keep your temps above 80 F. I think you are very lucky to get the snake if you are equipt to care for it because I believe them to be one of the most under rated snakes in the hobby. I also have found them to be pretty intelligent and it is one of the only snakes I have that does not start stiking at everything the second food comes in the room and if a great feeder. Stay on your toes because I think they will be fully aware when they are capable of intimidating you. I am falling in love with my P.sebae so I give you Congratulations for your new companion.
