I'd imagine that unless she's sprayed a large amount it shouldn't harm him. There's been one occasion when me and my girlfriend was getting ready to go out and without realising we was spraying hairspray perfume deodorant and after shave. As soon as we realised we opened to windows. Luckily nothing came of it. Ant spray may be slightly worse. But like I said, I think it would have to be a lot. Goes without saying to check on him as soon as you get in.

Is it an indoor ant spray?
If you bought the can, did it say 'children and pet safe?

I don't think snakes are as susceptible to chemical sprays as birds are, but I hope he's ok Carl.

Whew i'm glad he's safe, I tried to keep it from my reply, but I was fearing the worst as those sprays can and often are lethal to pets.

Still, all is well thankfully, and its highly unlikely to ever happen again. Looking lovely in that photo :)
