    Smack her and tell her to "RESPECT MY AUTHORITA!!!!"

    And unless she fumigated the BP with it you'll probably be fine, but tell her not to do it again, EVER. Just push that in there that doing that could hurt the snake and not to do it, no matter what.

    Oh, and open your windows if it isn't too cold.

    Did she spray it right in the tank or just around it? Your likely fine but next time try something more natural like charcoal odour absorbers.

    she sprayed around it, but it is the clean linen and it is very strong stuff...she sprayed because we smoke, and she was trying to cover it up..

    Charcoal filtering systems are GREAT for clearing smoke up. And yes exposure to carbon monoxide as well as the other chemicals in smoke is as bad for your snake as it is for you.

    I'd say your snake will be fine, but you definitely have to smack her.

    Smoking is very dangerous to snakes.
    And, if frequent, will probably lead to an RI eventually.

    No smoking in the snake room is a good rule you should talk to your mom about. I moved out over a year ago because my mom smokes so heavily that I couldn't stand it, plus I have asthma.

    Smoke outside. Second hand smoke is no good for anyone to be around.

    You wouldnt have to worry as much about freshening the place up either....

    I second this and also add smoking is very detrimental to any reptiles especially in a confined zone. One of my friends that is a vet, they kept having this guy returning with a panther cham that kept getting RI's and come to find out the person smokes in the house in proximity to the cham.
