The question is how long I would figure at least twice the time for a often recommended drug cycle, so 3 months maybe more just to be safe.
Not enough answer there I guess. I'd wait at least twice the treatment time for the drugs to clear and three times would be better IMO. As a typical treatment time is at least a month and sometimes 2 or 3 months. So I suggesting at least 3 months and as much as 9. I would not suggest breeding a snake on drugs or even until all traces are gone as well. They should be 100% healthy and at no risk or relapse.
