Kinks have been proven to be temp related. How temps relate to different periods in egg development isnt fully known yet. Many types of heritable problems could occur, and 90% would be things we dont see like a deformed gal bladder, twisted intestines, or even missing organs. In the scheme of things biologically changing skin pigment is a relatively small change, thats why we see it so often. And its because of these unseen problems that "freak" animals often are weak or dont make it out of the egg. IMHO.
