One was a deform dead in the egg, and the other was just a tiny little guy with umbilical issues. Starting to think this is just going to be a problem clutch. But two of the four look fine so far. Still in the egg, but I saw the tails and they were fine. Hopefully no kinks in the back...
You shouldn't clip it IMO. The only reason people do it is so they can try to sell the snakes as being kink free. It does not do anything to help the snake.
