    Tank Placement

    So I just got my first baby ball python and I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there is a general rule for how far away a tank should be from a television? I have the tank on my dresser on one side of my room and a small flat screen on the other side of the room. My wife and I like to fall asleep watching tv but I was wondering if that would bother my new friend? The side of the tank that is closest to the tv is blocked by a tall stand alone mirror so the light is not directly shining into the tank. Are there any problems with this or possibly the vibrations from the noise of the tv? I am sort of limited on space right now and where I have her is the best place where I can control the temperature, humidity, and traffic in and out of the room.

    Re: Tank Placement

    Hi,

    I don't think the tv will be a problem.

    My main worries about placement are the things you already mentioned plus making sure no direct sunlight hits the enclosure ( possibly causing an overheating problem ).
