A late friend of mine had one (years ago)- he liked the oddball & difficult snakes (but he stopped at rattlebrats, he left those to me). If I was selling some snakes, I'd not say "stinking" either!Originally Posted by Homebody
But their musk is (ahem) noteworthy. Now maybe with c/b & gentle handling from the time they're hatched, maybe they rarely or never musk? Must be fun to sex the offspring though? Hey, I never thought rosy boas would ever musk, but one did when I was sexing them, & OMG, it nearly gagged me. So there's that...most snakes can surprise us anyway.
If you get one, we'd love to read your experience with it. Besides the appearance, what did he say that attracted you to this species? When it comes to snakes, I'm all for keeping an open mind...ha, that's what got me keeping rattlebrats for 20 years. They didn't live up to their bad press either.
