here's mine........i caught this 4ft cane 2 days ago and since the poor snake's natural home will soon be someone's foundation, i kept it......seemed calm enough to go ahead and sex tonight and after about 20 minutes of avoiding my tube and just being plain stubborn, i finally got her tubed........everything was fine and then she started musking me like a damn skunk......a LOT of musk, nailing me everywhere; face, arms, legs, chest, etc....sexy........and then she made it EXTREMELY difficult to sex her safely with 2 hands, so i had to bust out my 3" toes and use them as the 3rd hand lol......held her tail out with my toes to keep it straight while restraining her with one hand and sexing her with the other........but she's a female which is just groovy, but i had to head straight to the shower while my wife freshened up the snake room and rest of the house.........she was difficult......

Hi Ricky,
Thats pretty funny! I had the same problem with a Very Bad tempered, 1.5 meter Mole Snake (Pseudaspis cana). It was a wild caugt snake that i had to remove from some one's back yard. Its a constrictor, with a bad bite, and an arse full of white stuff!. I couldnt lay my fingers on it without it spraying me full! Even when i eventually had it at home to have a good feeding before i relocated it, it was spraying me and my room with musk! I think i had two baths before the stinch came off of me!LOL
Best regards,
Quintin (Breezer)

Though I can look back on this and smile now, I darn near quit keeping venomous after this incident...
I had caught a HUGE five foot plus canebrake on a rescue call. If it had been female I was going to keep it. My neighbor wanted to help me sex it. (Nowadays I could eyeball that snake, but this was when I was younger and inexperienced) I had showed him how to probe colubrids, so the plan was for me to tube the snake while he probed it.
I got the snake tubed and sat down in the middle of the floor 'native american' style and held the snake for him to start probing. Apparently the combination of a very fat snake, a hot day causing sweatty palms, and just the right combination of "jerk & try to back out of the tube" by the canebrake caused the restraining tube to shoot off the end of the snake and across the room like a rocket. The five foot very PO'd canebrake landed loose in my lap. I froze. The slightest movement on my part and the snake would have struck me mid body. I was stuck. I couldn't move and really didn't have a way out of this situation.
Here's the great part. My friend and neighbor, who had never tailed a rattlesnake before, but had seen me do it many times -- says "OH SHUCKS!" (paraphrased) and reaches down, tails the snake up and out of my lap, and tosses it a few feet away.
It was an almost-accident that could have turned out a lot worse. I seriously reconsidered keeping venomous after that, and almost gave up this hobby because of it. I can say this -- I have never and will never sit 'native american style' in the middle of a floor with a big rattlesnake tubed in my lap again. I always make sure I'm in a position to drop and get back if the snake manages to wrench himself out of the tube.
It has only happened to me once, but sheesh once is plenty!

This may make a few of you sick... at a reptile dealers shop here in Florida I wanted to purchase a nice male Canebrake.
While tubing the 3' male to double check the sex the snake burst a large amount of musk across the room and into another customers open mouth. He had been watching us and was talking to us about snake hunting. We noticed he ran from the hot room and never returned.
We bagged the snake and when we left the room he was hurling outside the shop. He then told us about what had just happened. I can only imagine the taste in his mouth. This guy is a "know it all" and was telling us how we should be doing the probing. The dealer thought he had it coming.
The lesson learned: keep you mouth shut when someone is sexing snakes! :)
I have had a few Canes and some Cottonmouths spray pretty bad in the field. An upset cane can leave you ready to go home if you do not carry extra water and hand sanitizer to clean up.
Hope this did not kill your appetite. :)

A couple of years after the Raleigh NC i had picked up a lot of bush baby ball pythons. I was going thru them setting them up in rubbermaid's,after i had gotten them set up a friend of mine came up with the bright idea to sex them well at this time i had no probes with me and he said thats all right i can "pop"them. now i dont pratice this becouse it looks to painfull to me i wouldnt want somebody squeezing on me to make my stuff pop out. But i agreed and he begain to "pop" these snakes. He had gotten thru about 2 of them when this other guy had walked in now this other guy was a friend of a friend and i never cared to much for him.as he sat there and talked we continued to sex these snakes the friend of a friend was talking telling us how much he would like to have a ball python but i was asking to much money for them and how he was broke.i know what he was doing he was hinting for me to just give him one. About the time he opened his big mouth again my friend had poped a snake and POO flew out of the snake and right into this guys mouth and he just stopped and got this strange look on his face and asked what was that.I responed with what do you think it was and he said S%#T and i just shook my head yes, and this guys face turned green then white then green again and as he started gagging and vomiting i started laughing i dont think i had ever laughed that hard in my life.And now when i think about it i get so "tickeled"and start laughing again .
Just thought i would share that with yall
