odd looking baby!!!!

ok this is the baby from that thread i did on a wierd looking egg, he is second to start coming out but something is strange (it may be normal) he has like a completly flat spot in his body. he is still very much alive. im hoping he fills out when he absorbs his yolk.

Looks like a kink from that picture... not quite sure. If you can get some better pictures it would be easier to see....

Have you checked to see if his umbilicus is twisted and preventing him from absorbing the yolk? I would look at that and consider setting him up similarly like the link that I posted with moist paper towel.

hey i just went and did like you said except i could not remove him from the egg completely due to a major vein still attached to the egg, but i cut away most of the egg and it did look like his umbilicus might have been twisted so i straighted that out but he is just so flat its freaky looking.

i hope hes not kinked

Ouch! that doesnt look good at all. It might not make it. Or dare I say need to be culled.

Looks like a severe Kink to me. This is common in some morphs, Like the Caramel Albino, sometimes it looks really bad, but the snake is able to live a normal life, and even breed. Sometimes not. I hope he is ok....and I wish you luck.

i thought the same thing but i have never seen a kinked normal. i hope he fills out when he absorbs his yolk :please:

I've seen a kinked YB, and it eats fine and I believe was going to be a breeder. :gj:

Hi,

One of my hatchlings managed to get hurt in his tub this year and his ribs were quite distorted;

Here he is 4 months later after his first full sized mouse meal;
