How do I soundproof my ball python's terrarium?

Sounds are vibrations. Hearing is the way a being picks up and the brain translate these signals. I am assuming Aaron means snakes do not have outer ears. They do have internal ear structures and are by no means deaf. The way they hear is similar to the way you can hear when something vibrates on your jaw bone just much more sensitive. Any sound dampening would decrease these vibrations. You could lay a thick blanket over the tank, this would be the easiest solution. Other than that you could surround the tank with noise damping material but these tend to be quite expensive. Also I think what the others were trying say is that the snake senses you with it's taste organs well before it does with it's hearing organs.
