Treadmill vibrations

I'm getting my first tegu next week and I'm setting up his home now. I have the space to rearrange things once he gets bigger, but for now, the most convenient place to put his tank is in the same room as our treadmill. Does anyone know if the vibrations from that would upset him or make him uncomfortable?

Thanks!

From my experience, any sort of noise bothers them when they're babies. They tend to outgrow it and get used to it when they are exposed to it a lot. Our last one used to always burrow when the wife went into the closet in her room and rustled the clothes hangers. Eventually the gu got to where it was just background noise to her.

Our new baby gu runs when the toilet in the bathroom next to her room flushes at this point.

I assume you're talking about vibrations through the floor and such?

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am concerned with the vibrations on the floor that might result from running on the treadmill in the same room. His tank will be on top of a table, so maybe that will be a good enough buffer.
