Please forgive my skepticism, but how SAFE is Fipronil on snakes? They are very different, cold-blooded & typically much smaller than the dogs & cats for which
this product (Frontline spray for fleas & ticks on dogs & cats) was made. Just because an animal survives a treatment does not necessarily mean that it will not
become sick in 6 mos or a year with cancer or other related disease process...how long has this been used on snakes that have survived long-term? This is the
first time I've heard of anyone using Frontline spray on snakes.

I googled "fipronil on reptiles" and it's been tested on snakes since at least 2005 with 0.25% fipronil. I didn't find any extensive research on 0.25% fipronil, but the conclusions overall are it can be used on snakes with acceptable safety level and is a known treatment.
