Can snakes get covid? This is a question that has been asked by many people since the outbreak of the pandemic. The answer is yes snakes can get covid but the chances are very low.
There have been a few cases of snakes contracting the virus but they have all been in zoos where there have been other animals that have been infected. The snakes that have contracted the virus have all been put into quarantine and are being monitored closely.
It is important to note that there is no evidence that snakes can transmit the virus to humans. However if you are handling a snake that has been in contact with an infected animal it is important to wash your hands thoroughly afterwards.
If you have any concerns about your snake’s health it is always best to consult with a reptile veterinarian.
Can snakes get the coronavirus?
We don’t know for sure because there have been no studies on this but it’s unlikely because they don’t have the same kind of respiratory system that would be susceptible to the virus.
How can I tell if my snake has the coronavirus?
There is no way to tell if your snake has the coronavirus because there is no test for it and snakes cannot show symptoms of the virus.
