EEEEEEEEK, Hatchet, those kinks on your spine are very scary looking! I think it's likely that a lot of them are genetic...sometimes during incubation soemthing goes wrong and out pops a "crinkled" snake like yourself! I'm glad they don't impair you from living a good life with your people! You are one handsome snakey, and lucky to be in such a loveing home!
