They do not have ears in the sense you are thinking, but they have the ability to 'hear' as hearing is merely a special sensing of vibrations, and they are setup for that, so loud dogs means strong vibrations, means the snake could 'hear' them. Short of breakibg down a snake's anatomy, if you are confused what I mean, I suggest googling it.

No, I know what you mean. They don't have auditory canals, but they do have some of the small bones of the inner ear. They can sense vibrations within certain frequencies. Whether those frequencies include the barking of the OP's dogs... I don't know.

Yes the younger dogs crying out when the OP gets home could startle the bp but after its settled in and is used to it. Then the bp won't "bat an eye" at the sound. Its just a matter of the bp getting used to the vibrations made by the dog. My son screams and squeals, my dog barks and howls and the cat meows. Mine don't worry about the sounds. If I open the enclosures they poke their heads out. I can handle them without fear that the sounds of my goobers will send them into striking mode from fear. Remember though this little bp the OP is getting is a baby and is more likely to strike out of fear of being handled. Its the fight or flight response. Strike first and I can get away without being eaten kind of thing.
