Has anyone ever had ringworm in there snakes??? I was talking with someone today who used to be a vet assistance and she said that snakes can carry ringworm. What would it look like if they were to have have it and how do they treat it???

they probably mean roundworm... pretty sure ringworm is actually a fungal infection.

Agreed. Ringworm is a fungal infection. There are many species. I am unaware of any documentation that any herps can carry it or be affected. The most common vector is cats.
