BP Stinks

I would recommend you maybe starting a new thread so you can get advice on getting the enclosure correct. That humidity is pretty far off from the goal, so it might be a good idea to let some more experienced members trouble-shoot your husbandry just in case there are other things that could be fixed.

thanks, I've been monitoring the humidity and it was staying at about 65% but I must've overdid it with the dampness of the towel on top the last time I watered it. It's been resolved. The smell is already gone also

Every few weeks I take a small hand towel, damp one corner with water and use it to wipe down my BP. He seems to enjoy it because he'll press up into the towel as I move it along him. He'll stay calm for maybe 2 or 3 neck-to-tail wipes and then let me know he's had enough.

Speaking of smells - while the snake is quite small, sometimes I'll catch of whiff of something foul and realize he let fly a fart that you would only expect from a much larger animal.

It could have been musking also. Snake musk smells horrible. I have heard of ball pythons musking, although mine have not, and I was once musked by a king snake that somehow got into my house and I could not catch:O It was....well...horrible.
