No, I doubt it. The spores could possibly irritate the snake's lung, but I doubt it would get infected. Generally, spores and mold can be avoided by not allowing too much air flow and not keeping your bedding soaking wet. Mold thrives in hot AND humid environments. I've heard of fungi infecting snake skin, but I've never heard of it affecting them internally, although if anyone has any links of such a case I'd be glad to read them!

Since I feed f/t, the snakes don't GENERALLY get much bedding in their mouths, but if the drag the rat around or the bedding sticks to wet parts they can ingest some and they have gotten a good mouthful each before with no blockages or death.
