Re: Lost a bet to a friend...snake musk?!

Stop it right now...

First of all, Musk is not feces.

Musk is generated as a method of self defense by the musk gland.

If you have ever seen it, it's a white fluid similar to that created by a prostrate gland, but it has a stink that's for sure.

Small colubrid musk is potent, Not sure about a big snake, never smelled it.

As for calling people names, I have seen some very respectful keepers eat roaches, swallow pinkies and other such nonsense, it does not make them anything but silly with balls enough to go for it.

So knock it off with the derogatory comments.

I'd say there's quite a difference between eating a food that isn't considered common in Western cultures and...this. But whatever floats your boat.

Yea, this is easier.

So he has to sniff a stinkie for 3 minutes.

Nowhere in his post did it say he even had to make contact with it.

I own one snake that flings his musk all over, it's no big deal, had it flung all over me, it washes off.

It's hardly something that warrants being called names.

I never called him a name. Didn't even call him stupid. I said this was stupid. We all do stupid things, including me. The other person never called him names either as far as I can see from the posts, so I'm not sure whom you're referring to when you say it doesn't warrant him being called names - since no one did.
