Re: breed a kinked male?
I wouldn't. You might get babies that are not kinked but non the less there would be kinking in the blood line. IMO

Yeah, that. It's really not a gene that should be passed on, even if it doesn't always show up in every hatchling.

An injury doesn't impact genetics, and so can't be passed onto offspring. But kinking is a somewhat common defect in pythons, and it's unusual for an injury to mimic that.

Kinking can be genetic if you have the genetics that are known to produce them. BUt it could also of been egg stress during incubation that will NOT pass on to the babies.
Its your call not ours, if the kink is small and he eats and sheds all well, theres no problems as it wont pass on unless its a known genetic trait
