The musking isn't a big deal! It's a little messy and stinky, but once they become comfortable with you and mellow out, it's not nearly as often. Just when they are uncomfortable/scared. I'd also loooove a MBK, they're so pretty! Nothing hotter than a pitch black snake, haha.

Exactly!! They're gorgeous. I just don't know if I can handle the musking! If it happened, I might not want to hold it again lol

Ahh! I'm leaning toward it! I've been researching them and from everything I've read, they're pretty bitey. I might need to handle one first before deciding. Hopefully I can get to an expo in the fall.

That's why they musk, so you won't bother it. Most young snakes will poop when you pick them up as a deterrent because they think you are a predator.

I am really glad that has never happened with my three. I probably just jinxed myself though!
