    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hi, everyone!
So, I currently live with my parents, and I have some reptiles in my room (specifically, a pair of emerald tree skinks, a gargoyle gecko, a ball python, and a Kenyan sand boa). I'd like to start playing bass again, as I used to do so a couple years ago before falling out of practice. I would do so in the same room the reptiles are in. Would this be harmful to them, either physically or mentally? It's not very loud; it's a similar volume to someone speaking slightly louder than normal.
Thanks!
 
Reptiles can be very sensitive to vibration, but it really varies from individual to individual based on how prone to stress the individual animal is. I know reptiles can be bothered by a TV, so it's possible they could be bothered by bass guitar, although if it's not very loud I'm sure that would help.
 
Low frequency vibrations can easily travel all through the house even at low volume, so no matter which room you are in, they would probably feel it.

A suggestion you might consider is that you could use headphones or earphones instead of playing through an amp. Your parents might appreciate the consideration also.
