Freshly painted room and ball pythons

I have a question. We are moving to our new house. I painted the room already, I still need to paint the doors of the room. Lets say I paint the doors of the room tonight. How long should I wait until I move the snakes into that room? Or is there nothing I should worry about?

I'd wait a day or two. I'd just make sure the room was well ventilated before moving the snakes in, because my main concern would be the fumes coming from the paint. Possibly put a fan in there?

There's a ceiling fan. That we have been circulating the air in the room for a couple of days already. I just have to do the doors. Worst case I'll just leave the doors off and let it dry until the smell is gone.

Crank the heat as well paint cures better warmer than cooler, it seems stupid to open the window and turn on the heat but it helps cure it faster. You nose will tell you. go outside in fresh air for 30 min and then walk straight in and smell. If it smells of paint it isn't cured.

Miami is naturally 90 degrees this time of year. We have had the ac off for days. I know the room is good. I painted it maybe like a week ago or more. My days are so mixed up. We've been working in this house so much. I just can't wait to move in

LOL I forget sometimes today it was quite warm here... 45ºF Way back when I used to paint in college we used to pop the heat up to 90ºF and run it well ventilated over night and that was enough to get the worst of it done. Oil two days. latex 12 hours.
