I've never heard of kinked spines as being a genetic defect that can be passed on to offspring. Spinal kinking seems to be caused by improper egg incubation. I had a female black pine snake with a kink in her tail - she bred and produced normal offspring year after year.

In all likelihood your male can grow up, breed, and produce kink-free babies without any problems (as long as the eggs are incubated at the right temperature).
