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 |

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. |

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 :< |
