I agree with everyone else. Please release the snake where you found it. There's no point in keeping a wild caught snake if all you want is a pet, nor is it even worth the hassle of removing parasites and establishing the animal, especially if it does not survive. Furthermore, you are a first time snake owner. It would be best if you go out and buy a captive bred specimen bred for the pet trade. And even before that, please go out and do enough research on the snake before you obtain it so you do know what you're doing. If it's because you cannot afford to buy a pet snake, then you're simply not ready to own a snake yet. If finding an available specimen is the issue, then you can always look into buying online and having it shipped to you. But I cannot stress enough that wild animals are best left alone beyond scientific or breeding reasons.
