beginner witch looking to do first spell, worries about pet snake

hello everyone! im a very beginner witch and im wanting to attempt my first protection jar today! i have everything i need, my only issue is i live in a tiny apartment with a snake. which if you don’t know, snakes are extremly sensitive in terms of burning candles/incense ith smells and can get respiratory infections really easily. would it be okay to do my spell work in the bathroom? i think that will be the best place possible to burn incense without it effecting his lungs. thank you in advance!
