I wouldn't think so. Fungal infection yes, but ringworm specifically probably not.

As Maureen said yes they can become infected. Usually in snakes it is seen as a respiratory tract infection. Hard to spot otherwise as the fungi responsible for ringworm (there are 3 main ones that affect snakes) infect the skin rather than the scales, although they can cause dark patches on the scales themselves.
