I'm still waiting for noodle to Musk on me as I've been warned that rat snakes do.

I've never had a snake take a dump on my bed before, that's a big inconvenient cleanup! :O Hindsight: good idea to check snake for bulge above cloaca when you
first take them out for handling...then you know whether or not to proceed, or at least put an old towel under them. I haven't been dumped on very often, but by far
the most "memorable" was a rosy boa that was sweetly snuggling inside my shirt for a while...all of a sudden she poo'd down my back! -thanks so much! :rolleyes:

Your noodle may never musk you....that's a sign of stress & yours is very comfortable with you, so you might have to live without that "experience"...:snake: It's really
NOT all that common for c/b rat snakes to musk. If they do, there's something wrong with your handling techniques, slow down. It's more common with hatchlings.

Yep! Been there and it stinks!!! I used to have a banana bp that used to pee on me every so often when handling. The very first time he peed on me and it soaked the t-shirt I was wearing, as well as the pillow case on my bed...He had such a good aim..little bugger!! :giggle::giggle:

I had a good black silk shirt once. No longer.

May your shirt rest in peace...:tombstone

I’d say that it’s a matter of time before everyone experiences this at least once. I do check for the bulge before their vent, but sometimes they’re sneaky. My poop experience was with one of my corns, in my lap. Yuck. I’ve only been musked once by a captive snake, a rescued juvenile burm that got startled by my dog. I didn’t realize she’d come into the room, snake saw her, struck in her general direction, and musked like a mad man. That was the single most terrible smell I have ever encountered. :puke: I’ve been musked several times by wild black snakes that I was relocating. Their musk smells like burning rubber, which still isn’t as bad as that burm.

I can't see you but I'll take your word for it.

Fun... I learned this lesson while handling my carpet python a couple years ago. Now I don't do any prolonged handling unless the snake has very recently pooped. :)
