    Determining hatchling ball python species, and kinked tail?

    Ok so my first clutch has hatched, out of 7, 5 made it. One was a slug and the other I'm not sure why he died. With this being my first clutch I honestly do not feel I have the ability to determine what kind of ball pythons they are, so I took pictures and hopefully I can gain some insight at too what I have. Now before going any further one ball python has a tail kink right after the vent, and the other right after I rinsed him off I noticed his eye was bulging and looked almost see through, and his head looks like it doesn't have all the color pigmentation and slightly deformed. On day two of checking on this snake his bulging-eye has gone down and still looks as though he may have no eye but seems to be functioning fine. I am not sure why they are like this so what could have caused it? Genetics maybe? Could the kinked tail snake live okay? Any info would be much appreciated! I'll number the snakes by the photos.
