I know snakes lack one "sens" ( dunno how to say in english) , you know vision, smell etc .... i cant remember what it is . Well my point really is does music bother snakes ? Meaning the volume .

They can definitely 'feel' music through vibrations in the floor, but whether it 'bothers' them is as good a question as any.

The sense they lack is hearing (they don't have ears). So as Mykee said, they would be able to feel vibrations but cannot actually hear the music.

would the loud vibrations scare them? Or is that just a question that cant really be answered...

I'd think the vibrations could scare them most defenitly. When I take the lid off the top of my tank it can make allot of noise, every time I make a loud noise when taking the lid off my snake dart it's head back in it's hide.

I'm sure the constant vibrations would stress your snake. Kinda like its hiding in a hole and a continuous herd of VERY large animals is trampling on it for a very long time. :)

Vengeance, you might be mistaking the sound of the lid coming off, with the vibrations that also occur when the lid is being taken off, hence the snakes reaction.

Yea, that's what I meant, i think :D Either way if it goes on quietly he doesn't jump but if I accidently knock it or it snaps down too hard he jumps.
