    Can you post a picture? It is unusual for a snake to develop a kink at that age. Are you sure it was not there before?

    She's pretty, but I think they meant a pic of the suspected kinked area.

    Calm, get the vet apointment and leave her be. If it is a broken bone or something along that messing with her is not going to help. She will settle into a position that is ok and typically they will not move much if they are hurt. I'd try to just leave her be.
