I find it doesn't help anyone to focus on "history" whether it was right or wrong. I get why people pointed out and assumed what they did (we see a lot on here stated like that where it was exactly that case, sadly..).Originally Posted by timeakinga
I'm still a "newbie" compared to most on here (got my first snake in 2017... aaaand now I have 15 across 9 species, lol), but what you described was exactly what happened with mine, so I figured sharing what I tried and what worked/didn't work may help out some.
It seems like it is likely you'll have at least several months to a year of stink before yours gets big enough to get over it (though I don't recall if you said the weight above?), and since it seems a lot of folks here have more success waiting for a bigger size than trying to socialize it out, that's probably the best way to go.
Briefly 1x weekly when doing a thorough spot-check is probably the best way to go till you get up around 120-150g. That's what I wish I had tried from the start anyway... would've saved my nose a LOT, my girl puts gasoline to shame.
I'm hoping you keep us posted how it goes and share some pics! I originally wanted a MBK, but since I couldn't find any, I picked the next most black kingsnake species we had at our expos. The chain pattern is pretty cool regardless, so I'm happy enough, but still love seeing MBK pics.
