"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science." -Charles Darwin

"I am turned into a sort of machine for observing facts & grinding out conclusions"-Charles Darwin

"Man with all his noble qualities, with sympathy which feels for the most debased, with benevolence which extends not only to other men but to the humblest living creature, with his god-like intellect which has penetrated into the movements and constitution of the solar system- with all these exalted powers- Man still bears in his bodily frame the indelible stamp of his lowly origin." -Charles Darwin

"A scientific man ought to have no wishes, no affections, -- a mere heart of stone" -Charles Darwin

"The fact of evolution is the backbone of biology, and biology is thus in the peculiar position of being a science founded on an improved theory, is it then a science or faith?" -Charles Darwin

If you're using a latex (water-based) paint, I would remove the animals just while you're painting and then, if the ventilation is reasonable, return them to their homes...However, if you're using an oil-based (alkyd) paint, you'll want to give the animals at least 24 hours away from the fumes. Again, I'm responding based on my own experience/concerns as a house painter, but snakes are fairly resilient animals, and the latex paints shouldn't bother them too much.
