    I lost a bet...snake musk?!

    Hello there.

    I made a (stupid) bet with a snake-owning friend another day, and lost. As a result, I have to smell the musk of his 5 garter snakes (he ASSURES me they will musk), right up to my nose, for 2 minutes straight.

    I'm not even familiar with snake musk...I'm not sure what I was thinking when I made the bet. How bad will it be? I've heard it really stinks...but what exactly is the smell like?

    It smells like ****.

    Absolutely terrible.

    This will be a hellish 2 minutes.

    You have my pity.

    Ugh...now I'm even more nervous. Thanks for replying though!

    I'm sure it doesn't smell "exactly" like "****' though. Is there a better way to describe it? Trying to picture it before I have to do it...

    I think it would be better to forgo the bet and not submit the snake to the stress. Find another way to resolve the bet.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    He assured me that he wouldn't have to be cruel to them to get them to musk.

    Have you ever experienced garter musk? I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on it.

    I hope it's not quite THAT foul. Yikes.

    I still can't picture the smell though. Can you describe it?

    Stinks as bad as it tastes(don't ask) but nothing like skunk musk.

    I can't as it is a unique scent. I even find the scent has variety with the different species but once you've smelled it you'll never forget it.
