    Re: Describe the smell of garter snake musk?

    Speaking of musk, is it possible for a snake to have defective musk? I'm pretty sure one of my garters musked me once shortly after I acquired them, but there was almost no smell whatsoever, but it definitely left a clear liquid...

    Yes. There's usually more than one ingredient in most secretions and sometimes one is left out for any number of reasons. It can be a temporary or a permanent condition.

    All I can say, is ditto Steve. Once you have experienced it, there is no mistaking it for anything else later on
