So i have never heard of snakes getting flees only mites and ticks but my moms dog brought flees into our house and my girlfriends cat has flees. i was just wondering if i should be worried he likes to lay ontop the wooden enclosure. also i have a golden tegu and beardies also wondering about them.

No need to worry. Your reptiles will not get fleas. If the cat is on the cages, you may see some fleas in the enclosures only because they have jumped off the cat. But they can not feed off your reptiles.
