This might be a really stupid question, but here I go!
Hello!
We have our lovely set up in our living room, and have been watching Severus late at night while he's active. I'd hate to move It but gosh darn it do I need to vaccum. It's my living room and I like it to look neat and tidy and all I can see is fluff and stuff to clean.
Will vaccuming scare the tail off the poor guy? Should I wait until we get him to eat and settle in? Should I have my boyfriend take him to another room? The neat freak in me is dying to clean.

the vibrations might spook him b/c it's how they "hear" but TBH it's hard to tell esp. if you're vacuuming it's during the day and it's hiding/sleeping. they get over it. u should be fine unless he starts displaying signs of stress after vacuuming. u gotta vacuum and there's no way around it unless u move his enclosure somewhere where vacuuming isn't really required like hardwood floors or whatever.
RIP Mamba

I vacuum my snake room all of the time with no visible reactions. Now that room only has adults in it (8 if them).
I also use the loud Dyson hand vacuum to get substrate out of the sliding door tracks. Obviously the doors are open when doing so. Sometimes a snake may be 8 inches away and they don’t react.
I vacuum the quarantine room where the baby/juvie Olive is as well. I’ve never seen her react either.
The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

Not a stupid question at all.
You're showing that you care for your snake. Don't ever be afraid to ask a question. Always cross reference your answers and check your sources. Once you know the information is reliable, then it's up to you how you apply it.
Keep asking and keep learning

A few of my spider morphs will rub their heads sideways against the base of their enclosure a little bit when I vacuum. All my others seem unaffected.

That is interesting. It makes sense since there are neurological issues at hand.

I was thinking the same thing, but to go off topic for a short moment, would that be considered wobble? I've heard it comes out more in stressful situations.
