Re: Snakes in the bedroom?
It shouldn't be a problem. I have 2 ball pythons in my bedroom. I'll agree it definitely depends on your ability to sleep, your substrate, and your snake itself. Mine's on a quiet substrate so I don't hear them slithering at night. One I don't even hear at all. My other one... Well he's very active and likes to climb so you hear the occasional thump as he's climbing. I try to do a nice long handling secession before bed and that usually calms him down.

Re: Snakes in the bedroom?
Thanks for the replies everyone! I'm a light sleeper but based on your feedback I feel pretty confident that keeping a snake in my bedroom will be fine. Now all I have to do is graduate from graduate school, get a job, make money for snakes and stuff, and then get one! Lol

My spotnose leopard clown is so important to me has his own single tub rack with his own thermostat and everything he needs (tongs, spay, f10, towels, etc) right next to my bed lol. Would never even know he was there if you didn't open his tub and look.

I'm rarely ever in my bedroom at all during the day, though; if your bedroom is a more active area of the house you might want to take steps like covering the enclosure with a blanket to minimize the possibility of disturbing or stressing out the snake.
:rofl:Now there's a truly-devoted snarent for you. Worried about disturbing the snake... :rofl:I love it!
Hey, I just remembered there were a couple times when my 2 "big gals" made some noise- but it shouldn't apply for most snakes anyway. It was when they were laying eggs, so they were quite active for a while- remember these are rat snakes I'm talking about- they were never bred but that hasn't stopped them- they lay 2 "infertile" clutches every summer, with the first clutch being around 25 eggs, so it takes quite a while- but that's the only time that "things go bump in the night" from either of them. They're weird but amazing snakes & I "forgive them", lol. Anyway, it shouldn't apply for most snakes- just my luck. :rolleyes:

I love it! You never know, some farts are more lethal than others! :rofl:
