I'm almost certain corns don't actually musk. As said, kings and milks do, my king has never on me but without fail after a clean out, he will do it in his viv to make it smell more homely I guess for him lol. I'm sure if corns could musk, you'd hear health issues about the musk gland being blocked. I thought my hatchling corns did, but I am guessing it was some kind of weird hatchling poo.



A very special super, duper thanks for K :3
