I'd wait until it's completely dry, which should be around 24 hours (what does it say on the tube?), because the smell isn't strong. It's preferable to wait a couple of days just in case.

If it was, you might want to let it dry for a few days. By strong, I mean you smell it when you enter the room. The snakes are going to be a lot closer to the source, so it's best to let it dry until you have to make an effort to smell it.

The aquarium silicone I use has a smell that's just barely noticable, and I've always waited at least a day before moving anything in after applying it. Sometimes longer, if the ventilation isn't that great. The kind of ordinary silicone I've used smells a lot more and I've waited up to a week after using that.
