Foot Traffic and Noise

Just a quick question. Are BP's bothered by foot traffic or noises? I have my ball python in my living room, and while it generally stays pretty quiet, the slightest noise can send my dog into a fury of barking, and my mom may sometimes run the vacuum. My BP eats well, and overall seems very calm and relaxed, but I just wanted to know if these kinds of things bother her, or if she couldn't care less. I've read from multiple care sheets that foot traffic and loud noises can stress ball pythons out, but mine seems ok.

I think it depends on the snake. Mine does pretty well with noise as well, but I know there are shy ones that would never eat!

I can only speak about my BPs when I say they are also in the living room with traffic and are just fine. They are not especially shy though and not problem feeders.

Totally depends on the snake. Coincidentally there is a bad thunderstorm going on her as I type. About a quarter of my animals seem affected the others could care less.

it totally depends on the snake cause our baby BP is at our friends house for now and it's in a heavy traffic area and there's a lot of noise and it doesn't bother her at all she eats like it's nobody's business.
