I have had a couple of indigos hatch that look very similar to this; we don't know if it is due to incubation temp fluctuations, or, genetic; but we're working on it. The few that we had over the years that ended up like this grew into wonderful animals but we decided to not put them back into our breeding program until we can have a better idea on what caused it.

>>It doesn't look like a typical indigo at all. Although the cause is probably different, it reminds me of way adult cornsnakes can get in captivity, with extremely broad body at the cloaca and abruptly tapering tail.
