Again with the sharks, lol. I can positively say that I have a Hypo Everglades rat, that I rescued from a pet shop where it was on death row because it wouldn't eat and they did not know what to do. Anyway this snake is gorgeous but every time I have bred it even with a wild caught yellow the babies come out kinked. I have gotten a couple babies with no kinks at all and a few with slight kinks, but the majority were so kinked they could barely crawl and many died in the eggs cause they could not get out. I have not bred him anymore! I did breed a pair of his offspring that were not kinked to see if would still happen and it did. I did not have any other kinked snakes at all with one exeption. I got 2 Abbott Okeetees with slight kinks. This was the third generation from a pair I got from Lee in 04. The original pair were siblings. So I have had to get new genes to add in so that the kinks do not get more frequent. Now I do believe kinks can be a result of other factors also but they surely can be genetic. In this I have no doubt!
