pythons and music

[Trey Yeoman]

As far as Ball Pythons are concerned, I am unsure. However, I have 3 things that may be useful.

My BPs have never been exposed to music; However, my corn snake has. He has not had a reaction to anything that I play nor the volume in which I play it. My neighbors play music loud enough to shake me house and that does not seem to phase him either. He is a happy snake with or without any music interference.

In the plant world, it has been proven that plants exposed to classical music have lead greater lives with more flourishing. The same is shown with babies that listened to classical music.

As for bugs, the bark beetle which is a major nuisance in the forest world there is also a musical effect. When exposed to Heavy Metal they begin to attack each other until death.

Hope this helps.

I just want to say, not to bash you in anyway, but the Plantae kingdom is something entirely different than the Animalia kingdom genetically and biologically... so... the effects of one environmental stimuli on a plant cannot be comparable to the effects of the same environmental stimuli on a ball python. Plants utilize photosynthesis... while snakes use an internal heat regulation that maintains homeostasis... two different things.... just to.. I guess... clarify... sorry if I came off as snobby


But now that I re read this, I think of this awesome idea... for a scientific study of the positive and/or adverse effects on a ball-python from classical music... very... intriguing...
