ball python newspaper
my roomate says that news paper ink could give a ball python an allergic reaction is this true

Short answer: no, it can't.
It might discolor a lighter snake, but it won't hurt them.

Newspaper is fine 
The ink used is vegetable based.
The only concern is if you have a white snake it might not stay white all the time.
