Some people worm their snakes regularly. I think this is usually orally but not sure.
If you are worried, My opinion is that is better to get them checked (fecal float I believe) and then if they are infested, treat them rather than treating a healthy snake. But that is only an opinion, many people do have a regular worming schedule.

Reliable professional type told me:
Fecal float first, no point in giving your snake potentially harmful drugs if there is no need.

Nicole is right about this. Deworming is another think, you have to make your own discission. I am deworming half yearly orally.
