It is worth experimenting with music for that purpose. It could work very well. I am sure the snakes would hear it and like it. But of course they may have their own personal tastes in music. I know Misty had. She introduced me to composers I hadn't given much thought to before.
I wonder if anyone has ever tried to hypnotise a snake?
That, if it worked, would help for scans and MRIs too. Is it always sedation the vet uses? That can be dangerous for many species.
