Snake Newbie Hello

Hi there, I'm a relative newbie to keeping snakes. We have a 8-10 year old Diamond Python, we're not sure of his actual age due to the fact that his original owner can't remember how old he was when he first got him. He's actually a family member's snake that we are now caring for and we're very much enjoying having him around. So much so that we're looking for our own 'first' snakes, both my husband and I.
We're from a rural town, Deniliquin in NSW, which has become famous in Australia for its Ute Muster.
Looking forward to having advice and replies from more experienced herp keepers as we begin our own journey.
regards Ripsnortstafford.
