Re: Deformities

I agree with Joe (cornsnakesalive) about what he says about the temperatures.
I suspect that a lot of garter snakes are kept to warm. And this could well cause some kinks. On the other hand... if there are only a few "kinked" specimen in a litter and the other juveniles are ok, how do you explain that?

Probably it is "normal" that there are a few specimen in a litter that are not good.

Wether garter snakes are in-bred more than other snakes... I do not believe that.
Lots of garter snakes are wildcaught (in the USA).
