BP's and LOUD noises

Do loud noises (severe thunderstorms, maybe even vacuuming, etc) have any affect on your bp's temperment? Do they tend to get stressed? Silly question, but curious.

Yes. It all depends on the snake.
But I've come across some snakes that affected by loud noises and low frequency bass music.
On one occasion, a ball owner had a new roommate who played bass music all the time. The snake went off feed. The snake was vet checked as was perfectly healthy. The roommate stopped playing the music 3-4 weeks later and the snake ate fine.

They cant hear but from a study i read they sense vibrations through their jaw bones. So you could shout right next to them and it wont hurt them but theyll prolly feel the vibrations and get stressed out...
The occational vaccuuming of a room wont stress them out anymore than taking them out to hold them would. Just dont sit in the room blasting dubstep lol.
Oh god dubstep... smh, smh...

LOL! I'll be sure not to do that! LOL!

Any sound that can produce a low frequency vibration can be picked up by your BP. To what extent it will cause stress most likely would depend on the proximity, intensity and duration of the vibration...and, of course, the snake's temperment.

From what I've seen in my snake (and I'm not saying this applies to all snake, Koga might just be a freak) vibrations and loud noise doesn't have much of an effect on his temperament or feeding. I listen to my fair share of dubstep (don't be hatin) and used to have F-16s fly over my house daily. I might just be ignorant to signs of stress, but he seems perfectly fine.

my room mate listens to dubstep... where does music come from in that... Just kidding. If there isn't a guitar, bass drums or other types of hand held instruments or a piano.

Just because they're synthesized instruments doesn't mean they're not there, silly goose. Love the wub!

I play loud music that shakes the house when cleaning the snakes and rodents. DOnt phase them at all.

New comers Get used to it quick when first here as i play music a lot. Ive had them feeding while the bass is rippling the water in their racks. Still dont phase them one bit.

While my music doesn't shake the house, I do play it pretty loudly and see no adverse effects.

Dubstep baby!! Lol:gj:

My viv used to be right next to my huge television and my friends and I had a "Harry Potter" marathon (all eight movies in 48 hours FTW!) and my snake got VERY active from, I can only assume, the vibrations from the television. When everyone left, I rearranged my furniture so the viv was about 10 feet away. I also moved the viv and the TV a few inches off the wall so vibrations wouldn't transfer through the wall. Ever since, my snake hasn't cared at all when the TV is playing epic movies. She has slept contentedly though all three "Lord of the Rings," "Phantom of the Opera," and two seasons of blaring "Glee."

When you feel a bass sound vibrate in your chest, just think, that is the only way your snake "hears" at all, and it is to warn them that they are in danger of being trampled by a large heard of grazing beasts in western Africa. :O Poor things!

My BP's hide slipped out of my hand the other day when i was cleaning and it scared her, but I think if it's not direct vibrations they can feel, they will be okay. :)

Dubstep and Glee mentioned in the same thread... smh
I'll just go sit in the corner and sip my haterade...

I listen to a lot of music, loudly. Mostly metal, and the occasional dubstep, Pretzel is just fine with them :) However she seems to stress out a LOT when the hoover is out...I live with my Grandparents and have to tell my nan not to hoover my room. I'll get Pretzel out of there, make her comfortable and then hoover my room, as she has gone off feed before :)

I listen to a lot of electro-industrial/aggrotech/powernoise music, and occasionally my snake will come out of his hide to see what's going on if if the song has a particularly strong beat. I think he can feel the OONTZ OONTZ OONTZ :P

Doesn't seem to phase him for long though.
