Hello

My king snake keeps [bleep]ting and pissing on me =(
I only have it 2 weeks now. How long will it take before it finally stops doing this and how many times a day/week do i need to hold him?

Greets,

Narco

lol, good old kingsnake musk. Is it a baby? If so, hatchling kings almost always are muskers and usually grow out of it. Usually. Some don't. Just handle him as often as you want as long as he hasn't eaten in the last day or two. When he musks, keep handleing him, if you put him back you are teaching him that musking works. He should stop doing it when (and if) he realizes it's not working to get you to leave him alone. Good luck. lol

The worst are those projectile shots of Lampropeltis musk. I have had some kings and they flick that tail and it goes EVERYWHERE. Walls, clothes, floor. And their musk smells especially foul too lol. Andy
