Re: Kinked hatchling what to do?
what i would do is just wait to see if she eats, and set her up as a pet, not a breeder. for myself, if the quality of life isnt bad, if its just a cosmetic thing, i would keep her but not breed. some might cull, but i wouldnt see the point. it looks like she'll be fine.
1.0 pastel, Aiden
1.0 HOG, Lee
Normal breeder female, Alice

I was thinking the same thing myself. If she does make it she will obviously be just a pet. The quality of life is my worry and has me debating the whole issue.

Thats great!
I hope when I check on her tomorrow she looks a little better but I've never dealt with kinks.

Re: Kinked hatchling what to do?
Kinks in newly hatched snakes are different than kinks in lizards in geckos. With lizards they are usually a result of an improper diet and not enough calcium, and can sometimes be remedied by providing the proper diet and supplementing them with extra calcium. The kinks that snakes are born with are not normally nutritional and cannot be remedied in the same way.

Thanks for the information I was unaware of different types of kinks.

Re: Kinked hatchling what to do?
My girl is only slightly kinked but still kinked, the example in your link is extreme but is what most people think of when they hear kinks.
