RE: THE WILD-MAN'S WILD FRIENDS VIDEO SERIES - EPISODE 14 - PRAIRIE KINGSNAKE

Brought back some memories as a kid in Canada picking up garden snakes by the tail and collecting them in buckets! I distinctly remember the smell..It was unpleasant at best, do you know why they smell that way!? Thanks for the interesting posts!

Sort:  

They "musk." They will emit that scent from their vent in an attempt to smell and taste bad for predators. Sometimes, my @little-peppers can even smell snakes in the wild. Pretty cool stuff!

Awesome thank you so much for the reply! Mom always made me wash my hands after snake catching and now I can tell her it was musk!
