Snake worms

[MissLeMew]

Can ball pythons get the same type of roundworm that cats & dogs do? The Toxocara cati species? Can't find anything about what can catch them besides dogs, cats and humans on google. Just found out my cat's got them, so now I'm super paranoid. Going to clean everything today.

I asked my buddy who is a Vet and he said they cannot.

In snakes the roundworms are Ophiascaris sp.


But fenbendazole (Panacur) with kill them as well as the cat's roundworms.
