Unhappy My snake stinks...

I don't quite know why. She got out today and when I found her, she smelled stinky...but not like poop...but the stink was coming from her cloaca (sp?)...She's a raincow boa...is there any reason a female rainbow boa (about 3 or 4 years old) might smell very strange? Also, this may have just been because she was agitated with me pulling her from her hidey hole, but her cloaca was open alot...

Skunk complex maybe?

All snakes have musk glands and will on occasion let some loose (some more than others. Some worse than others). The reason for this is that if they smell bad, they probably taste bad too. It's a pretty effective defense mechanism.

Garter snakes have a smell that makes me cringe. I don't know why but I just recognize it more so than any other I've come across to date.
