Will look forward to your updates, & wish you all the luck. We need species diversity, and for the life of me I can't understand why there isn't more interest in the huge variety of rat snakes (& others including coluber) versus the ridiculous abundance of boas and BPs, which because of size &/or temperature requirements, aren't always the best (or easiest) pets? Other snakes are more active & easier to keep than large boids, and there's no shortage of beauty.
Sadly, I suspect that commercial aspects have a lot to do with it: larger boids have many offspring, which in turn need to eat a lot more (rodent sales increase) and require expensive cage upgrades. The other downside is that many (boas & pythons) just get too big & difficult to handle for their owners during their lifetime.
