My Leo is right next to my desk where my computer and sound system are. My sound system is 400 watts and extremely powerful, especially the bass, I'm wondering if anyone knows whether turning up the music could harm Leos, make them uncomfortable/scared/etc.
Thanks!

How do Leos react to loud music?

That would scare a snake, and they don't even have ears.

"The serpent crams itself with animal life that is often warm and vibrant, to prolong an existence in which we detect no joy and no emotion. It reveals the depth to which evolution can sink when it takes the downward path and strips animals to the irreducible minimum able to perpetuate a predatory life in its naked horror."

okay, i am really reaching here, so this is just a guess. but i was in this osteology of reptiles seminar, and in know that many reptiles (especially, it's thought, a bunch of dinosaurs) hear through vibrations in their lower jaw. now, i am guessing that leos probably have additional auditory equipment, just because of those huge ear holes (to use a scientific term, hehe). anyways, so i think the proximity of the leos to the sound is more the problem, just because of vibrations carrying, especially through solid structures (like a desk). but i know i have cranked it up (as much as one can in an apartment complex), and my leos, at the other side of a large room, are distinctly not bothered. though my ferret hates it, hehe.
