Will loud music freak out BPs?
I've got my BP enclosure set up in my living room, and my main music/TV speakers are approximately 2' away on either side of the enclosure.
I've kept fish in the same spot before, and they would sometimes get a little skittish around heavy bass but they seemed to get used to it pretty quickly and then ignore it. And my cats and turtle sometimes react when music first starts or gets louder, but they almost instantly ignore it after.
Will a ball be the same? Or is it likely to stress the snake out to the point where it could be an issue and it's unlikely it'll adjust?
I was almost thinking about intentionally leaving music playing at a moderate volume when I leave during the day so that it gets used to it.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

I'm sure he can feel the vibrations but he must have figued out by now that it's nothing bad/a predator etc.
With the way these snakes hear I imagine that your footsteps walking around the room are probably in effect louder to the snake than the loud music.
Thanks! Yeah, I figured as much more or less. I'm already hoping to convert them from live to frozen food, so maybe I'll try keeping the music low till she first eats.
