I was around at my friend's, this is the person who has an albino kingsnake, and I noticed he was quite pongy, and saw that he'd been musking alot in his faunarium.
I was just wondering, what could be causing that?

Probably because she doesn't feel secure. They musk because they are scared or defensive so something must be making her uncomfortable.

Unless she's just a really nervous snake generally.

Does he have 3 sides of the faunarium cover up? and have plenty of hides in there? If not, that could resolve it a bit.

Thanks, I'll advice putting in more hides, she's only got one in there, and I'm told the snake tends to hide under the substrate more often than not.

An extra hide never does any harm. As Kaz also says it may be worth covering up some of the sides of the faunarium to help the snake feel more secure.
