    Your strand of the "common cold" does not transfer over to reptiles or mammalian species. Actually anything other than parasites won't transfer from species to species.
    Humans can get things from reptiles but normally not vis versa. Colds, flu, etc your all good.

    The bacterial and viral infections that affect warm blooded animals are different then those that affect cold blooded ones.

    Your snake is in no risk of catching a cold from you, regardless if you rub your snot all over it or not.
