Hi,
Just handled my kingsnake and he deposited a stinky whet substance on me. He was very lively as well. We have had him 2 weeks now and that is the first time he has done that but we haven't handled him for 2 days as he ate on Friday and shed yesterday. He isn't viv defensive anymore and I was surprised he did it. Is it likely because we haven't addled him for a couple of days or that he's sensitive due to his recent shedding? Any advice, comments appreciated, new to all this!
Cheers |

| As Gmac said you've been musked! Not much you can do to stop it except regular handling but some are more prone to doing it than others. |
