My wife bought a super cinnamon for my Christmas present. She warned me when she gave it to me that it had been very defensive and striking. I examined the snake and discovered it had a bad neck kink and could not move well. Its head is often twisted around at weird angles and its tail is completely limp. It will not feed. It appears that is stays coiled up and defensive due to this. She told me that the breeder she ordered it from told her that it had a "minor kink and that it would not affect it in any way". I contacted the breeder and his response to me was basically he told her it had a kink and now it was our problem. I feel bad that my wife did not know anything about kinks and went by what the breeder told her. Unfortunately, I believe I will have to euthanize a snake she paid $500 for. My feeling is that snakes like this should be culled and not sold, and their genes should not be continued. I am just looking for other opinions on the subject.
