I was being stupid when buying this corn snake

It's about 1 1/2 ft so it's still very young, however I forgot to ask the owner whether or not it was captive bred or wild caught. Just slipped my mind. It arrived today and it's a very nice looking classic corn(I'll post pics later when it settles in). However I just realized to ask the owner and found out it is a wild caught from some area called "Devils garden" in Florida.

I don't know much about wild caught specimens. Do they live shorter lives in captivity, even when brought in as a baby(such as mine)?. What should I watch out for?

Before I put it in it's enclosure, I checked it out and it's a very clean and vibrant animal. No signs of mites or any injuries. Although I know it may have internal parasites and diseases. What should I do?
