This is going to sound strange, but what do you expect from me, do male and female corn snakes smell different? I have two adult corns neither has been sexed but one of the cages smells a lot muskier then the other one. So I was wondering if the different sexes smell differently?

So the smelly one might be a female...the only other one I know for sure is a female in a late 06 hatchling.

It is more likely the substrate has gotten wet in one of the tanks and has caused that tank to get musky. Or it is possible you have missed a "spot" while cleaning out waste.
Check to make sure both tanks are clean.
One other possibility, but not male or female related, is that one of the snakes may have been excited or agitated and musked a little.
Corns do musk.

I only have one corn snake, and he always smell the same so no help from me today. Sorry!!!

Well they are all on newspaper and housed in sterlite container. They are disinfected weekly and clean through out the week as needed. So I don't know if that is the problem.

I have never noticed any real difference.
However when you live with some one who has a super sensitive nose, ANY smell means cleaning time!

I'm allergic to smells, so just going near her enclosure drives me nuts. I could clean it non-stop and it wouldn't get rid of the smell.
