if your domesticated mice are in the same area/room as all the wild mice you had problems with..most likely if they had any diseases that can be contagious between species, either via air, physical contact or fleas/mites/lice, all your mice are already infected or carriers.
I don't know of any diseases from wild mice that can infect snakes to be honest...other than possible internal parasites, its more diseases that can infect humans that is the concern with using wild caught mice and rats. Only way to know if the foster mom, babies or the rest of your collection is free of disease, is to take them to a vet experienced in dealing with pocket pets. ----- PHLdyPayne
