I've just been reading through an old thread all about handling your snakes, and about musk they produce. It got me thinking about other snakes I've dealt with in the past that also produce a musk when alarmed; Copperheads (Agkistrodon contortrix)being a prime example, they smell pretty strong but I actually quite like it! Am I weird? Many Rattlesnakes (Crotalus) seem to produce a musk, but it's much more subtle. Then there's Black Mambas (Dendroaspis), they smell really nice, almost scented, but with them it's not a stress thing, they just smell nice all the time! Just thought I'd share some olafactory opinions with you all!
