How much vibrations can a snake handle?

I have a 7 month old normal corn, and she is healthy and a great eater. My question was how much sound is too much for a snake. I have a drumset in my room, which is only 9 by 12 feet. Do you think that when I play drums, it will irratate my corn too much? Its vivarium is elevated to about 5 feet off the ground on my computer table. What do you think?
 
wow man i have the same question i have a drumset also but i havent been playing it because of my snake mine is a bout 6 ft off the grond so basicly the same question
 
I play varaty of dynamics. pp to ff, so I play all ranges. I havent actually played with my snake in my room yet. So is it okay to play with her in the room? And i cant move my set anywere else, and i dont want to move my snake either. If it will be a problem, il definatly move my set. but how much will they take?
 
It will probobly stress them out quite a bit. Best thing to do it put your snake in a small tub like a feeding tub and just put him in a different room while you play. It should not cause too much problems if he is only in the tub for a short time.

This will likely be the best solution. As snakes are highly sensative to vibrations mine can usually detect me entering the room based on vibrations (not sure how else they would know) so imagine how 100+ decibles of vibration from a drum set would feel to them.
 
Another idea is to go to Micheals or Hobby Lobby and get some styrofoam. They have it in 12x36x2 (inch) sheets. That will cut out some of the vibration.
 
I often wonder about this as well. Niblet used to be in our entertainment room where the surround sound would get quite basey. Then we moved him out and now he has to deal with the dogs running by his viv in the evenings when they go and chase toys.

I don't know how stressed out he is because of this, but he has never missed a meal, sheds on time and always a full shed, seems to be used to the idea that an earthquake happens every day.

Sorry I can't be of any help.
 
I think it would be good to move the snake, but only for as long as you practice, for you shouldnt just give up drums (great instrument :) ), nor should you make your snake unhappy.
 
noisey teen daughter

this was a great thread and a question i have been meaning to ask
my 14 year old daughter plays electric guitar and also military drums (drumming not so bad noise wise as its done on a pad thank goodness)and can be a noisey blighter and i was concerned about our corn as she is adamant that the snake is to stayin her room and near "clobbered"me when i dared suggest moving her to the living room, iamgoing to show her this thread
 
Well the drum pad shouldn't be bad and the electric guitar is less bassey then the drums and puts out far less air movement provided she isn't hitting the distortion to heavily haha.
