Cordelia's neck - very upset!

Definitely a kink. The seller should have been honest about this, not cool at all !!
Something like that doesn't just pop up in shipping.

There is no way of knowing whether the kink is caused by temp. fluctuations during incubation, injury to the hatchling or some genetic defect in the snake. Personally, I wouldn't use her for breeding because of that.

She should have went on to a "pet home" with full disclosure and at a heavily discounted price.

Wait and see what the breeder will say. If he ignores you or isn't willing to fix this situation, take it to the BOI. You might never get resolution, but at least other people will be warned before purchasing from him/her.

I still can't believe you weren't told of this.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Im really sorry to hear about your job. That really stinks . I am the same as you when it comes to giving people the benifit of the doubt and usually they make it right, so I hope that is the result in your case. At the same time, they had to notice the kink at one time or another. They might have been trying to take advantage of someone they thought "wouldn't know any better". I really hope the best for you and the BP. I really hope the Breeder does the right thing and makes it right being that she was purchased to be a breeder and if it were me in that situation I wouldn't use her for any projects. Sorry for the bad news but she is still a beautiful girl.
