As a tech, we learned about every parasite, how to treat it, what the intermediate hosts were(if there were any), how the animal got the parasite, how to properly identify that parasite, etc.

You can always say it's from one of your cats/dogs, and if they find parasites, then take another sample to the specialist. If they don't find parasites, then no worries unless the snake is behaving abnormally or is having diarrhea/anorexia/dehydration, etc.
