Noise Stress ?

Hsoj Jul 03, 2004 09:15 PM

I havent gotten my CG yet but i have the set up ready. I have a drum set in my small room with the tank. i was wandering if loud noises would stress a gecko or not.
Should i move either the drums or the tank?

In my reptile room ,I have a second computer.I have noticed anytime I use it the geckos tend to go back into their hiding places .That would suggest any human activity stresses them to some degree.
Also as they are nocturnal and you are not.Its likely the drums will disturb thier sleep patterns which often enough can cause stress and even death.
I wouldnt risk it ,particularly if yyou have a second site possible.
