defense

i know that a lot of snakes excrete that smelly substance from their anal area, just not sure which ones don't... do corns have this defensive mechanism? what about milks or anything else that many people keep as pets?

well actually from my experience I have smelled something like that from corns too. So I think that the do musk. But not nearly as bad as milks and kings does...so from my opinion they do musk....but they would prefer to poop more.....
