My new lesser Cordelia has something wrong with her neck, pretty sure it's a kink, and I'm very upset about this. I noticed something weird when she first arrived, but it just looked like a little skin flap (which I assumed was from being coiled on the trip here). Now that she's eaten I've had a chance to really handle her, and immediately realized this isn't just skin! I did contact the seller about it, but he still hasn't responded to my email.

Just thought I would show you all what's going on, and see if anyone can tell me what it is. She looks fairly normal when relaxed, but as soon as she stretches out the neck gets funky... it's kind of hard but flexible in that spot, and she was able to eat an adult mouse without any trouble. I wouldn't care if this is just cosmetic, but since I got her with plans for breeding, does this mean I shouldn't breed her now? If that's the case, I want a darned refund!!! Would love to discuss this with the breeder before I get too attached, so hopefully he will respond soon.

Here it is, and you can see how it goes from barely noticeable to "WTH?!" depending on her position:





This is what it does when she stretches really long...
