    Congrats on the babies!!! I'm not sure about the one with the kinked tail...it depends what is going on there. Is the baby moving normally and acting okay despite the kink?

    Yes Marnie, s/he is actually the most active and seems to be perfectly normal except that one thing. All of the kinks are after the vent. I hope that means there won't be any serious internal issues.

    Congrats on the babies! I'd be concerned about any twists or pinching of the digestive tract or reproductive organs, but if it's far enough down past the vent, then that shouldn't be an issue. Shedding may be the only trouble it will have. I just don't have enough experience and knowledge with kinking to say anything for sure.

    Congrats on the little ones! The kinked baby looks fine but he/she most likely will have trouble breeding as an adult.

    Re: Now I'm "that" poster... Sorry.

    Thanks everyone, I think they are totally adorable!!! They all seem healthy and active. I tried feeding them chopped earthworms today and one dived right in. I was pleased at least one ate on the first feeding attempt.
    One of the babies appears to be very obviously a boy. Can they actually be visually sexed this early??

    Re: Now I'm "that" poster... Sorry.

    Many years ago I has a corn snake (cali sunshine) who had a badly kinked tail below her vent. the only trouble she ever had was with sheds, the kink did not shed completely a single time. always had to soak and remove that area myself. otherwise it just looked bad like some one had shut her in a door. I'd say time will tell with your kinky scrub. Either way does getting stressed about it now help? Nope. soooooo be aware and enjoy until trouble arrives... theres always plenty of time to cry later.

    So cute! I have to stop myself from handling our babies all the time. The adorableness can be overwhelming. Is kinked tail the one you think is male?
