Yeah as roach said. A little bit more research wouldnt hurt.

I dont think youll find many books that deal only with blood pythons but reading on general pythons wont hurt at all.

You can hardly find a better caresheet then that. Written by Kara i believe. You wont find anyone with more expirience when it comes to bloods. There are a lot of other caresheets as well.

If this is your first snake i would not recommend a blood. They arent a beginer snake. They have special needs and can be very nervous when young - even the CB ones. Though with work they can be baby tame as others on the board have proven.
