    How do your reptiles react to music?

    So I've noticed some reptiles react different to some music.My iguanas zone out and go to sleep if I throw on some thing soft. If I play heavy metal they look confused.lol.Anyone else have a reptile that reacts weird to music?

    So would I if I lived by the lights on and lights off!!

    They are not HUMAN>>>> and they could care less if it is soft or rap or what ever!! They do not hear music in the wild and they do not perceive music as we do so do not try to push it on them..!!hmy: Unless it is those Dreaded Drums that they might be used to...:P

    I don't really play music too much around here anymore, reptiles can get used to many things that are not in the least a natural sound. We do it to them all the time.

    What I found was that it stressed the parrots unless it was very mellow and the parrots, unlike reptiles, have the ability to convey how they are feeling. The louder, more upbeat the music the more raucaus they would become. Which was ok while it was happening but their noise levels and agitation transferred to the rest of the day. Quite possible that the reptiles have the same reactions but we can't hear how they are feelling.

    Now I go very mellow or to the nature tapes. Thunderstorm tapes get them talking but not overly excited. Frog choruses are a great bedtime noise for them, etc.

    Our blue fronted amazon like 70s music. She gets into it too. She starts bobing along and making up her own words.
