there must be individual differences in smelliness of snakes
I've never thought of any of my snakes as particularly smelly
their poop smells like - well - snake poop of course
today I learned something new
I was handling my recently acquired king on the couch, when the smell occurred, starting out like normal snake poop smell, alerting me to the fact that the snake had pooped - thankfully on the floor
I had forgotten though, that his last meal had been huge
when the real load of poop came, it had an odour of a quality and magnitude that was quite beyond anything I've ever experienced in any reptile poop or goat buck in rut
could it be the rat pinks?
or maybe the meal was a bit too big (he was ravenous after shedding)
now he has an odour that I'd like to call "kennel smell"
I think I need to wash him
