Question
Hiya, my albino burmese python has a kink where you would call the 'neck' he sheds normal, eats without trouble and moves perfectly. it doesnt appear to cause him pain as he lets me touch it but i cant find anything online as to what it is!? Thanks in advance

Answer
Dawn,
   These kinks can be caused by a birth defect or an injury. It has to be one of the two. If he eats normally, I would not be the least bit alarmed. I don't think that a vet visit is in order as there is little they can do for such a condition.
