Re: weird kink in BEL...HELP!!!!!
I know kinks are normally a genetic deformity and so long as it is eating and passing bowls as it should then the snake could potentially live a happy normal life. However from what I understand they have the kinks at birth and I have never heard of it happening after the fact. I am no expert on it though so hopefully someone with more experience will chime in.

I agree with Dr. Del, it looks like an injury. Imo if it were a genetic deformity, I would think it would have been apparent from the onset.

I'm also going with injury, a kink that bad should have been noticeable when it hatched.

That has to be an injury. No way would you have missed that when it hatched.

I have to concur with those that believe its an injury of some sort. It looks like her ribs have been crushed. I'd be at the vet in an instant if I saw something like that in one of my snakes. It looks really bad, like ribs are poking down through the ventral scales.

Re: weird kink in BEL...HELP!!!!!
Yeah, in the beginning I thought it was a genetic malformation. Now I can see the other explanation on the cause. Gee, that must have been painful when it happened.
