All snakes musk. It’s both males and females. It is their defense mechanism, which I think works well, because they smell :) When he gets used to you, he will stop musking you.

King snakes are bad at musking from what I’ve noticed. Bettie, my king still musks me and I’ve had him since June and have been working with him for nearly a year before that. He just gets in his moods and doesn’t want to be bothered. Each snake has their own personalities though so the musking thing varies.
