Sucks, but it's part of breeding...ish happens! Put that snake down!
I am glad to not be the first one to suggest it. I had a spine problem once, until a skilled neurosurgeon resolved it in a complicated 4-hour operation, but prior to surgery the pain levels were so extreme, regular people cannot understand it. For 10 days, i had constant painful cramps 24/7, at times the pain level was so high that i lost the ability to speak with my normal voice. I did not sleep for 3 days in a row while being bathed in sweat from the painful and exhausting cramps. For 14 days, my average was around 1-2 hours of sleep per 24 hours. Permanent intense neverending pain kept me awake. Then i got opiate-based painkillers, what a blessing, i could sleep 4-6 hours at a time, and my mind was half-fried by pain and half-fried by opiates.

And all that just because something went wrong in my lower spine. I got used to people failing to believe that this is worse than shattered bones. It is surprisingly painful, i slowly pushed needles into my body for comparison when i was desperate, and the pain levels just did not compare. I could slowly push in a needle into my arm until it hit bone and at all times it was far less painful than my background pain level.


So i have to agree, put down the snake with the severe spine kink. Humans can maybe resolve the problem with 4 hours of surgery involving microsurgery directly on the nerve, price tag somewhere between 30000 and 60000 dollars. Snakes dont show when they are in pain. Put the kinked one down.
