My roommate's boyfriend stays over on the weekends and he smokes both cigarettes and weed (I live in Canada where it is legal). I have asked my roommate not to let him smoke inside because my snake's health is my first priority. However sometimes it smells like smoke inside and my snake's tank shares a wall with my roommate's room. I have a sensitive nose (and my roommate can't smell) so I'm not sure he is smoking inside and I don't really want to confront my roommate if it's not a problem. I am just a very concerned snake dad.
It should be fine. If you're worried about it, I would just leave the door to your room shut. Smoking on a daily basis in the same room would be concerning and could lead to a ri, but as is, the exposure is pretty low.

Gonna be moving in a few months, and we're going to have a nice backyard for the first time in years! My family has wanted tortoises for ages, but never had the right yard to keep them outdoors - first we had a pool, then we were in an apartment, and now our backyard is just way too small. But there's a good chance we'll look into doing an outdoor setup for em once we're settled in at the new place! The climate is perfect for them here and we'll probably adopt from our local herpetological society, since they usually have plenty of adults available there.

Also upgraded one of my many tanks today, moving my blood python into something that should hold humidity a little better + be easier to clean.
Linked because of massive pic. Still got a long way to go with this guy but I'm excited for when he gets bigger! The leaves in that tank are a garland from the dollar tree, btw - best way I've found so far to add some inexpensive clutter/ground cover to my tanks.
