Is it OK to burn incense in the same room as a cham, or any retile for that matter? I've got a ceiling fan and the window is usually open, so it pretty well ventilated. What about if the window is closed?

I know chams are sensitive, and just want to make sure this won't hurt my Lucutis, or any of my other herps.

Thanks in advance!

lizards lungs are a lot smaller than ours and even with "good ventilation" there would likely be some effect besides the fact that this is not something they are exposed to in the wild. I would say no - why risk it? Btw, for anyone reading this - the answer is the same for pot smoke

I fight for the unconventional
My right, and its unconditional
I can only, be as real as i can
The disadvantage is
I never knew the plan
This isnt the way just to be a martyr
I cant, walk alone any longer
I fight, for the ones that cant fight
And if I lose, at least I tried....

smoke is smoke regardless of its source. I only added that for anyone reading it, scratching their head and thinking "I wonder if a room full of pot smoke every weekend (day) will hurt him?" I was not implying you. I, too, burn incense and do not smoke pot so please don't take it personally.
