cigarette and snake?

I dont smoke in the snake room period.

I don't smoke, so I don't have this issue and NO one is allowed to smoke in my house. However, I have a good friend who smokes ONLY in his snake room :confuzd: . It's his animals and his house (which are BOTH very spectacular to view), so all I did was voice my opinion once and let it go. He's 50 or so years old and has been doing this for longer than I've been alive. He has a ETB that is 22+ years old too. His only response was "they never said it bothers them" :rolleyes:

Dang Ole Timers...

Interesting question! Some of the replies seem to indicate that smoke means fire, and maybe that means hide. I've heard that snakes come out of their burrows before earthquakes, so maybe they stay/go in to them to keep away from fire.
