I was talking to a friend of mine who's son has a pet ball python. She was telling me that they went to the doctor because he had developed a wart on his hand. After asking questions the doctor found out he had a pet snake. The doctor claims that the snake is the culprit for the wart. I am no physician. i have kept snakes for many years and never had a wart. Some people are prone to them who have never touched a reptile. Does anyone know if there is a direct link between contact with a snake and warts?
