Lost a bet to a friend...snake musk?!

[yogozarfy]

Okay, so I lost a bet to a friend, who happens to own a Burmese Python. I now have to smell his snake's musk, up close, for 3 minutes. How bad is it going to be? I made the bet sort of dismissing it as a joke, but I've heard some nasty stories about musk, and that's without people having to smell it up close like that...any thoughts about what exactly the smell is like?

Is this a serious question? It's feces - it's meant to ward off danger....It smells horrible. If you actually go through with it not only are you completely disgusting, you're probably not playing with a full deck up stairs...I can't believe you made a bet where you'd have to put excrement in your face if you lost...I hope the payoff was huge if you won. Oh, and again that's disgusting. -1 self respect.

People do a lot worse and nasty bets, it doesn't make him a bad person for smelling some snake musk. Have you ever been near farm land where they have pastures? They smell like crap 24/7 and they live with it but that doesn't make them retards with no self respect.

I don't think yogozarfy is a bad person, nor a "******"(your words) without self respect - but I do however think it's stupid. Fecal matter is waste. It's what cannot be used to nurture the organism. Yes, I've been on farm land, and I've also been in a bathroom after someone reenacted the scene from Dumb & Dumber with Harry taking the browns to the Superbowl, but I never considered sticking my face in the toilet to see what they had for dinner. Everyone is raised differently - where I come from holding poop in your face for an extended amount of time is a stupid idea...I don't think yogozarfy doesn't have self respect, but in my mind that decision lacks any sense of decorum. I'm sorry that I'm the weird one... ?

This is probably the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Stop it right now...

First of all, Musk is not feces.

Musk is generated as a method of self defense by the musk gland.

If you have ever seen it, it's a white fluid similar to that created by a prostrate gland, but it has a stink that's for sure.

Small colubrid musk is potent, Not sure about a big snake, never smelled it.

As for calling people names, I have seen some very respectful keepers eat roaches, swallow pinkies and other such nonsense, it does not make them anything but silly with balls enough to go for it.

So knock it off with the derogatory comments.

I'd say there's quite a difference between eating a food that isn't considered common in Western cultures and...this. But whatever floats your boat.

Yea, this is easier.

So he has to sniff a stinkie for 3 minutes.

Nowhere in his post did it say he even had to make contact with it.

I own one snake that flings his musk all over, it's no big deal, had it flung all over me, it washes off.

It's hardly something that warrants being called names.

I never called him a name. Didn't even call him stupid. I said this was stupid. We all do stupid things, including me. The other person never called him names either as far as I can see from the posts, so I'm not sure whom you're referring to when you say it doesn't warrant him being called names - since no one did.

Fair enough infernalis...I keep all Colubrids, and one Boid. I've been musked countless times, but I still think it's a bit gross to do that voluntarily...

Maybe I need to clarify I was speaking to h3h.

That's the idea, it's supposed to be gross, otherwise how is it losing the bet?

Sniffing roses is not a penalty.

And we're back to argueing semantics again..... On a new persons thread aswell.
