Fleas
My cats got fleas from me visiting an LPS Event where a vet was examining dogs. I'm treating my cats with natural flea spray and I want to know if this will harm my reptiles. I'm considering getting stronger stuff from the vet but I'm worried it may harm my herps/arachnids.
Also do they bite snakes? I was under the impression they only like warm blooded things.
And the natural defense has peppermint, cinnamon, lemongrass, clove, thyme, castor oil, and water. I figured this is at least safe for the snakes.

The fleas shouldn't affect the snake. Same way snake mites shouldn't affect your cat or dogs.
Why would treatig your cat affect the snakes? How are you treating it? Are you just spraying the cat or your whole house? Are you just worried about the smell coming off the cat or are you spraying the tanks? You don't need to treat the reptiles so the treatment shouldn't affect them. If you are just worried about the smell coming off the cat that shouldn't be an issue. Just keep the cat away from the snakes if you think it might bother them. The cat shouldn't be around them anyways. Also the treatment will only be temporary.

The cats generally stay away. Just treating furniture and felines

Yeah if you aren't treating the snakes directly it shouldn't be an issue.
