Ringworm is a fungus that causes a red itchy patch of skin that is circular in shape. It is highly contagious and can be treated with over-the-counter antifungal medications. I know people and furry pets such as cats and dogs can get ringworm, but I've never heard of in on reptiles. What symptoms does your snake show? If you haven't already, ask Chris Koester on the Health Forum. He's an invaluable source of information!

Good luck,
Ronda
