I've never had a snake with this before. I assume this is a kink? It's a small not about an inch below the vent. Sorry for the bad pic but you can see it almost dead center of the pic.

I wouldn't think so....just watch it closely. It shouldn't interfere with defecation or reproduction....some snakes are born (or hatched) with kinked tails and these animals go on to live happy, healthy lives. If the kink is the result of an accident, then I'd simply watch it closely but the animal should be fine...If you start noticing changes in behavior, you might want to take it to a vet. (Wouldn't be a bad idea anyway.)
