so to give you guys some context, whenever there's this, specific smell (really bad, funky, like a rotten animal) is around my mom says there's a viper slithering nearby. when it's near i can't even be in my room and i feel like vomiting.mostly caught this smell at night. after 4-6 minutes the smell dissapear. i did some research and it says most snakes don't have a smell. even if they do it's not a strong oder. is this a myth? i even heard my grandma say the same thing.
