Bad Neck Kink

[zina10]

All good advice. He does have a multitude of other snake sales, and probably does ok on the most part because honestly most snakes are problem free. I think he has a cinnamon line that has genetic problems, if you look at his supers he has sold in the past, a number of them state that they have kinks. I think he should cull his bad line and focus on the good. For me I would have been fine if he would just own up to selling a bad snake and take responsibility for it. I have to say, I read all the communication between the breeder and my wife. He was very pleasant. She specifically asked him if the kink would be an issue and he assured her it would not be. He tone changed completely when I approached him about the condition of the snake and sent him this same video. He became very defensive.
thanks for the advice.

Then bring all of it out in the open! Post it. Including the video. True, you were told about the kink, so there was no misrepresentation. But you were told the kink didn't seem to bother the snake.

So here are my questions.

What does the snake weigh now? What did it weigh when you got it? How often has it fed for the breeder and what did he feed it ?
You say the bad problem started after the snake ate its first meal with you ? What exactly happened during that feed? Was the snake able to kill (unless f/t) constrict and eat it without problem? With problems? Was the tail limp and the snake flailing BEFORE that meal and after you got it ?
