How does music affect your ball?

I'm a college student and I live in the dorm. I was wondering what affect if any loud music or other noise might have on my ball and if that is something that needs to be avoided?

Music does not affect snakes unless it is so loud that the room is vibrating.... Snakes do not have ears, but they "hear" from vibrations in the ground.

BTW, is having BPs in dorms allowed?

Ok that's what I thought just checking oh and no I'm pretty sure she's not allowed in the dorm.:thumbsdow My 55 gallon fish tank is kinda distracting though :D but shhh don't tell anyone ;)

hey at least I am not the only one that had a BP in a dorm and it was against the rules :) has anyone ever taken theirs on a plane illegaly?

The only thing I think might bother your BP would be the vibrations, but my music gets a little loud sometimes :rolleyes: and I haven't had any problems with my bp being stressed.

i normally hav headphones LOL

I play my music kinda loud at times while I'm hang'n w/ my snakes. They do not seem to mind

Thanks for the replies peeps I didn't think it was a problem but it's nice to get some friendly reinforcement!

heh, I didn't risk it in the dorms with my BP Aldous but I have him in an apartment now where the music gets loud and he doesn't mind even though the surround speaker is right by his tank, years ago I had a female BP that "liked" music, in that every time i played music she would find the speaker and just put her head up and look at it until the music stopped... it was like she was transfixed...

Music would not effect the snake in any way. Snakes do not have external ears, so they cannot hear. They feel vibrations through their jaw bones, though.

Same with my snakes. I love blasting my music on the computer and just handling one of my snakes, and they just don't seem to mind it at all. That's why I like snakes, you can be as loud as you want and it will not spook them.:D

Thanks for all your replies everyone!

That was actually a pretty good question. I am glad to know that bps are so easy to get along with lol. Not like discus fish that will die if music gets too loud, or if the ph is off by a tenth.
