I'm not certain. It's typically used on mammals and bird dust bath material. It's harmless to them.
Theoretically, I think it should be alright. But I personally wouldn't try it on the snakes since it hasn't really been tested or tried yet.

The way DE works is that it cuts up mites, fleas, and general insects with an exoskeleton. It destroys their bodies. I'm not sure what affects it will have on a reptile's scales.
