We're picking up bad vibrations!!

[Lankyrob]

After a few weeks of having Sunny she has been really quiet and jumpy and we have come to the conclusion taht the guy who passed her to us hardly handled her at all - she is now much easier to remove from her viv and settles within a few minutes if you let her wrap around your arm and squeeze! (hand doesnt go purple anymore so think she is calming down!!)

Well yesterday i was looking into her viv and realised taht teh water in the water bowl was rippling! I then realised that the guinea pig cage which was next to the vivarium had moved and was touching the edge of the viv - everytime the guineas chased around their cage the vibrations were being transmitted to the viv!! We have now moved them well away form her viv and today she seems much more active and inquisitive and hasnt TOTALLY hidden herself away.

This made me think tho - i know snakes are sensitive to vibration - but HOW sensitive are they? Are there things that should be avoided at all costs? We dont let our daughter jump around in front or near the vivs but what about people walking about etc?? We have concrete floors so most of the vibration i would think is absorbed by that anyway.

Thoughts please?
