Herbal fumes harmful?

Are rosemary or lavender harmful to snakes? Neither is that closely related to cedar but I'd like to be sure since I've use it for relaxation aromatherapy but I've been keeping it away from the animals as much as possible.

I've never heard of it being an issue. Unlike cedar bedding the snake would not be confined to constantly breath and lay in the essential oils used in aromatherapy.
I frequently burn incense and have never seen any problems.

I was wondering the same thing, as my daughter bought me a dragon, and it has scented cones like incense, you place it under the dragon and smoke comes out of its nostrils with a really strong scent, and I have been scared to burn them cause of the pets, don't know what the cones are made of, but they have a really strong smell to them a nice smell tho

I don't think burning the the incense cones would be a problem if done in moderation.
Now if the air in the room looks like your couch is on fire that is another matter!
