no way, and definitly not around hatchlings.
go outside to smoke,surprising how much less you smoke when you make it a smokefree house.
or only smoke in the laundry...

I smoke around my Herps.
Sometimes I sit in the Herp room having a ciggy and just watching them.
The enclosures are pretty much sealed so its not like I am blowing smoke directly into their faces.
I think if ever I was to become concerned about the health of an animal due to my addiction I would have to consider my own health as well & what it is doing to me. It is hillarious that you guys are worried about your reptiles health re: smoking so you got outside to slowly kill yourself IRONY!

It's all fine and dandy to condemn the smoker and tell him to quit, but he has asked a question and clearly "just make the decision and quit now" isn't an option for him. The smoke will affect them less than it affects you (they're inside boxes and not directly exposed to the smoke), but it will harm them to at least a tiny extent. The effects are certainly going to be there, but if you're willing to harm yourself (no offence intended), doing one twentieth as much damage to your snakes probably isn't going to trouble you a great deal. Having said that, many of us mother our snakes a ridiculous amount (I've been "guilty" of that sometimes ) and will put our animals' needs above our own, and if you feel that way, don't smoke near them. Smoking in another room will be enough to bring any harm done to them down to a negligible level.

Happy smoking
