    Hahaha!!

    Yessss! We expect musking from these "hyper" type of snakes, but boas are so laid back, they rarely do it. But if you probe them, don't wear your favorite shirt...:rolleyes:

    I didn't know boas musk either. I wonder if the skunk trick would work lol.

    I checked on her last night and she no longer smelled bad! That short soak she took on her own must have done the trick! :bow:

    haha! Yes, I actually changed the entire water bowl for a new one and threw that one away. I hated the Fluker's water bowl she had because it felt sticky no matter how well I washed it. I got her one of those heavy exo terra natural looking water bowls and washed it well before I put it in her enclosure. I'll never buy another Fluker's bowls again.
