Corn snakes and loud noise

I have an email question from a prospective corn snake owner in UK who is having trouble with his forum registration, and he can't get a post to go through. So here is his question:
Mark

i play the drums in my room alot, and i wondered if
the vibrations, or loud noise would stress the snake
unduelly, if so it would be unwise for me to get one?
 
Well, I would have thought that drum playing would cause some serious vibrations which could stress the snake. Couldnt you just keep teh snake in a plastic container and move it to another room when you want to play? That would work.

A friend of mine had a cornsnake for about 8 months and it never settled into a regular feeding pattern or got used to him. That was because his house was above an underground train line. He reckons it was definately the vibrations that made the snake unhappy.

Worth thinking about carefully.
 
Mark, snakes and drums don't mix

while they lack external ears, vibrations are keenly sensed by snakes. They can probably pick up on me typing hard on my computer keypad right now. A bass drum is going to be a sensory overload.
