Will latex paint fumes harm my cornsnake?

We're having the inside of our house painted. I'm planning on moving the terrarium around the house so that it's as far away as possible from the areas being painted. But, it will obviously be impossible to avoid the paint fumes entirely. Should I be worried?
 
There are also lower fume (I've used them and they're not too bad) paints available. I still would move the snake to another room but it should help some. Or another option would be if you have a friend that could take the snake for a week while you painted and aired out the place.

Happy painting.

Thanks very much for the quick replies. I did try to figure out who I could give him to for a week, but the only people I could think of are not real thrilled with snakes and also have pets that roam the house. I opted to keep him in our house and put him in another room. The painting started this morning upstairs and he's now in the downstairs bedroom with the door closed. The house is reasonably large so I think this should be ok. When the painters move downstairs, I will move him back upstairs.

That's what I do everytime we paint (we're always changing our minds about colors), and I haven't had any problems so far.
