I took on caring for a red tail boa a few years ago with a so called kink in his back, I really felt sorry for this guy, he was to be put down, not because he was in pain but no one wanted him.
I do think you are right about it being genteic, I myself have rheumatoid arthritis, and it has kinked my spine!
Other wise I get along alright ( fat and healthy )
As long as your hogie is eating and dosen't seem to be in pain I would not put him down, just till people you have a handicap snake.
Sure hope my wife not planing on putting me down!!!
