Can my snake get fleas?
I think my dog might have fleas... not sure. But now I’m concerned it’s gonna transfer to my snakes.

Fleas feed on warm blooded animals so no , however your snake can get snake mites which feed on cold blooded animals.

Sadly mites / eggs can apparently be introduced into your house on clothes or bags of substrate etc - if you visit a pet store or Reptile store or another snake keepers house ...

I am very aware I can get mites, out of 4 years of owning snakes I’m lucky I haven’t got any yet.

Apologies .... There's no way of knowing how much you or anyone else knows about snake welfare ..
It's good to share experience and knowledge in these kind of threads as someone with less or even no experience may see something of use and maybe be appreciative...

No I totally agree! I haven’t been keeping snakes as long as some people on here but I’ve had them for 4 years. I’m lucky I haven’t encountered mites yet.
