Like I said I do not work with supers this is just an example found online to show you what duck billing was.
Thanks for that Deb! A real wake up call for all of us novice breeders to know that breeding is a serious undertaking that has some unfortunate consequences. " Pythons with disabilities and comorbidities". Stay in peace and not pieces. A.C. :gj:

I don't think snakes outgrow kinks or duckbills. Kinking is like scoliosis for snakes, isn't it?
I had planned on producing super cinnamons before I was made aware of the issues around them. The mostly black snake was so pretty to me, and at the time it didn't even cross my mind that the super form would have an issue the regular form didn't (could have just googled it, shame on me and my lack of proper research). I would still love a black snake, but I don't know if I'm willing to risk those kinds of birth defects.

nope, no outgrowing those things
Re: Pastel enchi or super cinnamon
Couldn't any ball python, or snake for that matter get kinking? I know it's not a snake but if you keep tree monitors in too small a space their long tails will kink. That's a bit more controlled than just random kinking though
