Water based paints are your best bet, the fumes will clear quicker and more completely.

Most water based lacquers are fine however if you want to paint the inside of your enclosure white or another colour then the best I've found is Dulux Aquanamel. I've used that on the inside of a couple of my enclosures and found that if you do a quick sand job and put on 2 coats, almost anything will wipe off with a damp paper towel.

One thing to keep in mind when sealing all parts of the inside of an enclosure is that rough parts are harder to clean but can be required for the snake to start it's shed. Generally I'd say anything that can't be removed from the enclosure should be sealed to a point where it is easy to clean, whereas anything removable can be soaked and scrubbed for cleaning and should be left rough
