Why a Burmese Python? Have you held an adult or cleaned an adults cage?

I really shouldn't comment as I did the same thing at about
your age, BUT since you are open to advice now...

My advice is you're much, much better off with a Ball Python, or
if you really want a challenge a nice Blood Python which will
get just as thick as a Burmese. Do you know how much money it
will cost to feed a Burm compared to a Ball or Blood? A lot
more, the cages you're going to need also will take up a lot
more space.

After just 1 short year, you will have to deal with
a python that is going to tell YOU when he or she can be
handled not the other way around. My advice to anyone especially
someone who isn't financially independant is that Burms are NOT
good pets. There are much better pythons & boas to pick as pets.

It's probably too late though....
