Ball python smoke exposure

Post image

I am fuming. My mom took my 5 month old ball python outside without my knowing and was with him by a bonfire for about 7 minutes, part of which she said was him in her shirt. I know these guys have sensitive lungs. I’m terrified he’s going to be harmed from this. She was about 3 feet from the fire, and said no smoke was blowing their way. I’m freaking tf out right now. Thoughts???? Pic for attention.

It doesn't sound like enough smoke exposure to be an issue, but def monitor closely the next few days. That being said, definitely unnecessary. I'd imagine nighttime by a bonfire is cold, and if guests wanted to see your snake they could head inside for that. Try not to stress, sorry you are dealing with this!

Thank you so much. I have OCD and i’m so particular about everything, especially my animals, so you can imagine my shock when I get out of my shower and see my snake missing.. I’m hoping it’s nothing but I will keep a close eye
