These are the qualities that the snake is most going to care about, especially a ball python. They are extremely hardy snakes and very forgiving.

Snakes are an ideal pet for someone in your shoes. I was once there too. If you have to drop off your snake for a week with your parents, no problem. Drive the snake over, feed it and come back in a week. Don't...
feed it, drive over then leave or your new friend might.

I would do it and see nothing in your story that would stop me. If you only knew the conditions of what most snakes, held by individuals, live like, they would thank their lucky stars to live with you.

If push ever came to shove, I'm sure you would find it a happy home at that time. Great pets, great times. Enjoy!
