Is the severe kink on the left side of the x-ray? The bit that looks like a "3"?

Don't understand your question Chris.

Hi Steve
That x ray is not really what I expected. The spine looks much worse on the inside than what you can see on the outside. She was born that way but I dont think it is genetic. I have had kinks in other babies over the years and I think it is a product of captive breeding conditions and possibly temp related or a lack of a varied diet for the mother. I'm not really sure.
Either way thanks again for taking her in and giving her a great life!

Lucky 2 enjoyed a few pinkies tonight. She's been a little shy about eating lately because she was moved out of her big enclosure.
She'll be back with her girls in about 2 weeks, by then the male concinnus should be done his work.
