Garter Snake Producing Strong Odor

My neighbors have owned a Garter snake for years now. Every time she opens her front door to her apartment, a smell comes out that almost smells like a strong, druggish smell. Is this normal for a Garter snake? When I walk by the tank that the snake is kept, it definitely is the culprit for the smell.

It is so gross that I literally avoid seeing her so I don't get pulled into her house. I had dinner over there tonight and couldn't eat. When I got home I changed my shirt and smelled it to see if the odor was there and it was. Is this really possible from snakes? The smell is not just sometimes, it is constant. They are not dirty people. So how could this snake smell engulf their entire house?
