Im in a bit of a dilemma... I have the chance to buy a REALLY nice snake but its got a slight kink...

My questions are.. Does this affect the snake in any way eg eating, genetics ,passing it on to there babies??? And wether it will affect the personallity of the snake, so to speak....

Thanks in advance

Yeah, kinked snakes can often live healthy lives, but it's a gamble really as to whether it'll stay the same, get less noticable or even get worse. My little kinked Butter is the friendliest and most active of my lot! But like Gmac says, you're not to breed from them incase it's genetic. Get pet snakes mind!
Shame though, especially as it was one you've been after :<

i was soooo temped, ive wanted a amel cinder for ages, and when i read it a stripe aswell i had to have it but further down it said a slight kink, but it didnt say where..
anyways it was on rfuk, and it was someone in york (nearish me) but i cant find the post now, (must be a sign for me not to get it) lol

Good decision mate, just think positive and be patient. Hopefully you will get good result.

Ill leave it then because its an amel cinder stripe, and i was going to buy with thoughts of breeding in later

really depends where and how badly kinked. Our king has a kink and does everything it should.

What I wouldnt do is breed from it as you wont know if it is genetic or incubation issue.
