    Re: Caramel albino's having "kinks"

    It has been known to happen, but by no means does it happen all the time like the spider wobble. It is possible to get completely kink-free snakes and severely kinked snakes from the same clutch, and as far as I know kinking is something that happens randomly. I'm sure someone with experience breeding caramels will have a lot more insight on the topic, but that's what I know of it.

    * EDIT * I just saw your other post, we posted at the same time. If I'm correct the kinking is related to the caramel albino gene itself, kind of like the eyeless defect with certain strains of albinism in boas. Breeding to healthier lines may help reduce the occurrence of kinking but it doesn't necessarily mean it can be eliminated.
