    Do you see a kink?

    I traded this Mojave and the girl I traded it to said it has a kink! I don't see it! Do you see a kink?

    I think a kink would usually be in the tail area.

    A kink can actually be anywhere in the spine.

    Did this girl say where the kink was ? A kink can be tiny, just a barely noticeable bump or knot in the spine, or it can be very severe, to the point the snake has a right angle bend in it's spine that is permanent.

    So it is possible it has a small one, we would need to see the entire spine to tell you.

    I don't see any kink in either of those pictures.

    I suppose it's possible it is so small you'd need to see it in person to find it, but I have my doubts it is there at all. From the top, if I try really hard, I can almost make myself see a kink.
    I suppose if the snake cannot straighten it's neck out, then that would be a kink. But from the pictures it looks like the snake is just naturally curving it's neck. Did you ever notice that the snake did not straighten it's neck out completely ?

    Did she say the kink was a problem for her ? Is she angry or wanting to change the trade ?

    Does she think you traded her a defective snake on purpose ?

    I wish you all the best with this. I am not an expert, but I still don't see anything that screams "kink" to me.

    I had this snake since Christmas and I never noticed any kink and it straightened its neck out and it had no problem eating. If you notice in the pics(look at keyhole on top on neck)one pose is curved one way and the other pose is curved the other way. She emailed me today and it just said "It would have been nice to know that the Mojo had a neck kink". I feel from that, that she thinks I scammed her with a bad snake. They problem is I drove a distance to make the trade and I don't want to go back with the high gas prices we have! If she wants to trade back then she will have to drive here. I think it's only fair i she want to make the trade. She never mentioned she wanted to trade back though! I thought I would get an outside option before responding to her! Thanks!

    I see no kink in those pics. could be too small to see but I agree with she should drive to you or at least meet you halfway.

    Well technically from those pics, the snake's neck is curving in the same direction, but is seems different curves due to the angle of the pictures. Either way, without more pictures or a video, the snake looks like a normal snake in those pictures =P

    If you look at the keyhole on the top, in the first pic it is on the inside of the curve and on the second pic it is on the outside of the curve. Here are some of my pics I have:
