I've heard people talking about kinking a lot, but I don't understand what it is... I did a search, but the couple threads I found didn't help much.
Just curious...

Its where the spine has a abnormal twist in it.In other words a small bend .Sometimes it affects the snake depending on where it is but sometimes it does not bother them.I have only seen it in one snake a freind had.
