     ​Within the 7 genera of serpentovirus multiple host taxa is observed in snakes, lizards, and turtles.
 
Captivity:
-Pythons: Most species including ball pythons, blood pythons, womas, retics, burmese and many Morelia (Highest prevalence and diversity is in green tree pythons).
-Boas: Dumerils boa and Emerald tree boa
-Colubirds: Honduran milksnake
-Misc. Viperidae
-Veiled Chameleons
-Blue tongue skink
 
Wild:
-Florida Burmese pythons
-Florida corn snake and watersnakes
-Australian Bellinger river turtle
-Australian shingleback skinks
-(?)Misc. chinese colubirds (No specific background given) 

     It is unclear how wide the host range for any particular strain might be, but currently transmission of serpentovirus between reptile families has not been observed. Although multiple host taxa within the same viral genus suggests such spillover between families may happen on rare occasions, often representing large resultant splits in the viral phylogeny. ​
