Pew, he stinks.

Typically, about 2 days after they eat, I inspect my live eaters to make sure they don't have any scratches or bites on them.
Well, I picked up one of my males and he STUNK, I checked his cage to see if anything in there stunk, but nope, just him. I gave him a warm bath but he still stinks.

Anyone know what could be causing this?
Oh and it's a rotten-egg kind of stench.

Hmm. How are temps? The only thing I can think of is that maybe if he doesn't have enough heat to digest the food might be rotting in his stomach...? Just a thought.

I can't quite remember how it smells but my pinstripe is a total...brat and she has musked before and its a stink that doesn't go away for a while. Idk if that could be it? Is he very afraid or aggressive?

So long as it isn't some sort of underlying health issue (food not digesting, passing unusual feces from internal parasites, regurge, etc.), Healthy Habitat works wonders for cleaning a smelly cage/snake. I use it on one of my females who is particularly fond of leaving some NAAAAASTY turds in her bin and then wallowing in them. You can spray it directly on the snake and wipe it off with paper towel and if you use it in the tubs, clean out the majority of the pile(s) and then spray the tub down with the Healthy Habitat. I let it sit for a while and it does wonders for odors. It WON'T sanitize anything, so you'd still have to use F10 or Chlorhexadine or whatever you use as a sanitizer but this stuff does great on cleaning out the stank, lol! Amazon has it slightly cheaper than what Rich does for the initial cost but it isn't any cheaper once you pay shipping and is pretty much the same price.

If he musked from fear or stress, it will reek. Not saying that's what it is, but it is one possibility.

He's totally sweet, but I don't think he was afraid. But maybe he could be under some stress because I put him in a bigger tub (he went from 12qt to 21qt)?

I'll try it
I don't think it's digestion problems, he pooped a nice solid poop earlier, but it was after I made this thread.
