Need help with cage placement for my snakes...

Hi everyone...new user/poster here and I need some input.

I live in a rather large apartment, but not big enough to have a dedicated "reptile room", so I would like some opinions as to which room would be best to keep my snakes.

I have two options:

First is my entry room. Lots of light and space, but it is by the front door and it's where i enter and exit and my guests as well. It gets traffic throughout the day, but I don't "hang out" in that room for hours.

My other option is my living room...not as much sunlight, but not nearly as much through traffic, BUT that's where my TV is so when I'm watching, I am in there for a few hours (yeah I like TV).

Which room do you think would be better for the snakes in the long run? I'm leaning towards the living room since even though I would be there with them for a while, there wouldn't be as much back and forth and movement by their cages, but the TV light and sound may bother them at night.

Btw, I have a western Hognose (diurnal) and a Halmahera boa (nocturnal).

Any input ny my fellow snake keepers would be awesome. Thanks guys.

Living room. Plus you can watch them and the tv at the same time, have the tv on while you do cleaning, etc.

I would say the living room.
Not in front of a window or where sunlight will hit the enclosures for too long a length of time.

Also, being away from a well traveled entryway will benefit the snakes (and any entering guests afraid of snakes ) by having less stress (with less traffic) and with being away from any other factors that come with entryways.

I don't think that having the TV on will bother them (day or night).
Having lights on, at night, may not be a huge deal. However, if you want to replicate day/night, for them, you might want to leave the lights off, or cover the snake enclosures, at night.

I always had a snake room, till now. I'm forced to keep them family room. Only 16snakes flushed up against the far wall.

So, Living room would also work you.
