In her latest post on Instagram, the 26-year-old geoscientist proved that she doesn’t shy away from things many people would avoid.

The caption explained: “Worst snake musk I’ve ever experienced. The Bimini Boa (also understandably known as the fowl snake).

“Snake musk is usually a white or off-white color and is typically milky and oily. Snakes can and may release musk for a variety of reasons, including to deter predators.

“Different species have different smelling musk, and their propensity to musk varies as well.”

On Moore’s video, one commenter said he would rather be bit than musked.

Another said he wouldn’t want to be musked by any reptile. “Any reptile musk. Oooof,” said another.

When a third person told Moore that vinegar and tomato juice were the only things that helped with musk, she replied: “lol I just accepted it.”
