I isolate them and observe and check stool samples first. A lot of NC. snakes (due to cold winters) don't require ANY treatment at all - and some do. I usually find out which ones do or don't by checking behavior, feeding response, skin, mouth, and fecal samples within the first seven to ten days . . .
I put the wild caught female in with my wild caught male right away because it IS her window to breed and because they are from the same (within 10 mile) locality. Sure there IS a slight risk, but it was worth it, because they hooked up right away for three hours and then again the next day . . .
