Music for Snakes.... :D

[DLLNP]

Tell me right away if I've gone of the deep end....

I may be anthropomorphizing my animals more than I ever have in this thread but bare with me!

I keep my animals in my office at home, 2 geckos, 2 snakes. I am finding that when I am in the office, my Day Gecko hides (if you know anything about day geckos you know they are very skittish), if I am in there all day she will hide all day (no eating or basking). I don't like that because I do tend to spend a lot of time in there and I don't want that to impact her health over time. ( I should say, I have had her for 2 years but recently have started working from home)

As far as I can tell, she is really only willing to come out of hiding when the room is empty, and has been dead silent for at least 1 hour or so (if I run out to do an errand I'll come back to find her basking... of course she bolts when I enter the room).

I hope you are still with me.... I am thinking she is only comfortable when it is dead quiet in my apartment, this is obviously not realistic as I live there too! So I wonder what kind of impact it would have running a "rainforest sound" sound track quietly in the office/reptile room during the day time. I wonder what kind of impact that would have on the animals?

I mean dead silence is obviously very unnatural in a wild setting... I used to own budgies and a rule of thumb with them was if you leave your home leave the radio or tv on because silence stresses them out (i.e. predators are in the area)

I would hope that over time the day gecko gets more habituated to sounds during the day and is more comfortable coming out when I am in the room and hopefully it wouldn't have any impact on my other animals sharing the room (2 boas and 1 crested).

Have I lost it or what?
