Can you get a picture ?

Sometimes deformities are genetic, sometimes they are the result of an incident in incubation.

Did she hatch out that way or is it an injury?

i think she hatched out that way .. im not sure i bought her that way .. .. so i am not really sure the guy bought her from a breeder i asume ... so should i breed her to see if it i genetic or shouldi try getting rid of her?

..Either way, it isn't exactly an attractive trait, you need to get more information on her, contact the breeder. She is fine to breed IF it was an injury. Generally people don't want snakes that have any imperfection!

This, striving for perfection means breeding with the best quality animal possible.

Nub tail sound like it was an injury, sometimes the tip can be easily torn off when they are real small, I have even heard of this happening from a real bad shed on a very small snake. Baby snakes have real small tail tips that are easily pinched off.

Yes, snakes don't usually have much of an issue with this as I understand, but their scaly cousins such as small lizards can even lose toes due to issues with poor shedding.
