you dont really hear it unless it is hitting off of things in the viv/RUB, but you can see it Musking is when the snake lets other animals/predators know he/she is there... releases pheremones from its back end which often stink. |

I had to do this with Mim. She was constantly rattling her tail at me and musking everytime I went to handle her. But it has paid off as since then she no longer rattles her tail and the musking has stopped. (Although, knowing my luck, me typing this now will ultimately mean that she will start it all up again hahahaha.) |
