>>i just wanted to know if any ony knew how long a jungle carpet python might live with a kinked tail

How badly kinked is it? Do you have a photo? Many snakes do just fine with kinks. On occasion a hatchling will start with a kink and then grow it out. Pics and some info on the snake will help greatly...
