Some kinds of snakes are more prone to musk- when rat snakes are properly "socialized" they don't do it either. King snakes are more prone, since it's their typical & only defense as hatchlings.
That's the word 'Musk' thanks.
Yep musk stinks and takes a few washes to get off. But I had no idea a Ball python would do it.
Still, that's better than a UK grass snake, they will empty their bowels on you if stressed.
