Yeah I admit it's not really inbreeding if I used a WC female and still get kinks. But could this male have been inbred so badly before hand that he has a very strong propensity for kinked babies? Is it geneticly passed down?

I don't know why that snake is producing kinked babies even though it is bred out. If it is passed down it would almost act like a gentic codom trait.

I have no answer why your snake is consistently producing kinked babies. Maybe just bad luck or coincidence? Unrelated snakes do occasionally produce kinked babies. That is why it is linked to incubation or other aspects of fertilizion.

I guess someone who knows what goes on inside the egg at fertiliztion or during the incubation priocess and how an embryo devlopes can explain this.
