Okay, I'm currently spending Christmas down with my boyfriend's family in Georgia, my mom's watching the house, taking care of the snakes and everything while we're gone and when I called her today she informed me my cats have tapeworms...yay, inconvenient but tapeworm dewormed is fairly easy to get and treat. But, can snakes get tapeworms? It's not like they're in direct contact with the snakes or anything. But I also breed my rats and mice, I'm not sure if they have tapeworms, too or can even get them from cats. So many vets give me varying stuff, about a half that I talk to say worms from cats, dogs, and so on can't infect an animal of another species while others say they can...thus my confusion. So, does anybody know if tapeworms could travel via cat to snake, or mouse/rat to snake?
