Caramel albino

Most people are aware that caramel albino's can have kinks, but is it possible to buy caramels without kinks?
Is it possible to know if a snake has a kink in it or are some kinks very subtle?

When you breed Caramel Albinos, it is common to get some kinks because that is their genetic defect, like how Spiders get wobbles and Super Cinnies get the duck bills. I also hear you can get Albino Boa Constrictors with one eye or no eyes when you breed them together. Kinks are very noticeable, but sometimes a snake can live with some kinks and have no problem thriving. Sometimes kinks can be very serious to where you need to euthanize the snake so it won't suffer because it cannot function properly.

Here's some videos I found on YouTube:

YouTube - kinked normal female

YouTube - Female Caramel Albino Ball Python

A kink is a curvature of the spine, like scoliosis in a human. Not all caramels have kinks but they all carry the gene for the kinks sort of like wobbling is linked to the spider gene, yes some kinks can be subtle.
