I lost a bet...snake musk?!

Hmm, interesting. So many people describe the odor so many different ways!

This reminds me of a perfume advert.

Of course, if some guy were to wear 'eau de Thamnophis' I'd probably feel an irrepressible urge to cuddle them and feed them fish even though he smelled god-awful.

that is a definite sign of nothing but love for the tham family

has anyone else observed that the bigger the garter the worse the musk smell is? or is it just a coincidence that my two big ones smell worse. maybe the bigger they are the more potent it is or maybe just that the bigger ones have more quantity of musk?

I wouldn't know. My larger ones have never musked. It seems like the smaller ones tend to be more excitable, and they're the only ones I've ever been musked by. The larger ones seem content to nip or nose-bump of they're nervous; even wild snakes.
