    Just clean the tank tomorrow. They won't hurt the snake overnight. If you think your substrate is encouraging ants, you can use paper towels.

    Don't worry about it too much! I gets ants in my apartment and occasionally find one in my bp's tank. They won't harm him overnight. I agree with the substrate thing possibly encouraging/harboring them. I use paper towels
