Re: so turns out my thermometer in my incubator was off... by like 10 degrees!
I gotta say Bobmurrfy, you are one wacked out monkey telling this guy he can kill his snakes. Those are small tail kinks man, you must have no compassion for these animals what so ever.

im not the one who suggested that, i told him the kinks didnt look bad enough for the snake to be in life threatening pain and that he should keep them as pets and just dont breed them...
as for a C02 method... its no different than a person sitting in his running car in a garage and dying from it... they say its just like falling asleep.. look it up its the most humane and non violent way of putting an animal down... and you dont feel like :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r: after smashing your snake with a hammer :O

What I've read is it takes a long time because snakes have slower respiration than mammals.

I agree 100%. I guess I'm who thinks 'abnormalities' simply give them more character. Not like a little kink is going to make it a special needs snake.

To answer your question about why they are kinked and the others are not could be due to each being on different days in incubation. Some stages can take more change than other stages. I personally would do the same breeding next year and have them incubate alone away from everything else in it's own incubator that is watched like a hawk. If nothing goes wrong then it was just the temps and that is where I am leaning on this one anyways.

Poor little guys. But I have to agree, those curly tails are adorable. And they definitely don't look life threatening. As long as they can defecate without issue, I don't see why you can't find them pet-only homes.
If you do decide to rehome them, I'd give a disclaimer to the buyer. I'd imagine you'd have to be religious about keeping the humidity up so there's no risk of shed getting stuck on that kink. Hopefully you won't have to assist too much with shedding. Keep us posted on how that first shed goes!
