I would recommend starting with a different species of snake (for example, corn snake, ball python, etc...). Candoia tend to be nippy and can be a pain to get feeding (depending on your source of animal).

Personally I feel like Candoia are snakes better suited for upper level beginners or people with a moderate level of experience.

Just my 2 cents,
Chris

Try to find captive bred animals (which can be tough). Any species of Candoia that is captive bred and feeding on MICE will do well. If you purchase wild caught animals, you will want to treat for parasites and switch them to rodents.
