introducing WC to CB

[seventhwitch]

hello i am new here I have a 2 year old male CB royal sorry i am from Uk we call them that!
wondered what opinions where on introducing a wild caught female to my much loved and very tame male?

Has this wild caught been quarantined appropriately and vetted to make sure she has no health issues or internal parasites? Is she well settled in captivity, on good feeding program and of an appropriate size and condition to allow for a successful breeding attempt?

I was going to mention those points as well. I would say that if you observe proper quarantine periods, are 110% sure that she has no internal or external parasites, and that she is the proper weight and length for breeding, then there shouldn't be a problem. How long have you quarantined her for? And I would recommend treating her with Provent-a-Mite.. ticks are common on WCs that were not treated by their sellers.

thanks and yes i should have elaborated she is healthy and feeding and has been quarantined etc etc what i really am curious about is will her wild nature reflect on my tame male, rub off on him?
I suppose i mean will hannibal copy or pick up her wild untamed nature??? do snakes do that?
I am not going to rush into anything and i really do appreciate all the advise but this is the one question (stupid as it may sound to some of you) that i am very concerned about.
Internal parasites is another thing i will be asking about when i see her again tomorrow.
Once again many many thanks!

I don't think it's possible for one snake's attitude to affect another's particularily. They don't have a pack or herd instinct that way. Sure I guess it's possible if one snake is freaking out or highly defensive for another snake in close proximity to pick up some sort of situational type stress from that but if they are together for breeding purposes that's probably all they'll be fixated on anyways.

This is all supposition on my part. None of my adult females that I'll be using this year are wild caught adults and the two wild caught adult females we have are easy to handle all in all.
