Kinked Lavenders?

I was told that Lavender based breeding produced kinked snakes more often than not.
Is this true?
If not true, what would be a good pairing for my Opal Stripe het bloodred, het sun-kissed, het caramel ?

I'm new to breeding but have done a lot of research and will keep learning more.

Kinking, regardless of incubational stress, does tend to run in certain morphs. Lavender being one of them. That being said, I have not seen a correlation between kinking and Heterozygous Lavender animals. I have been working on producing a kink free line of Homozygous Lavenders for years now. I'm 5 breeding seasons into non-kinked Lavenders. Obviously your odds of producing perfect offspring improves when you start with good stock. If your parents have kinks the odds increase for the hatching to have them as well. Add to that the fact that the more recessive genes homozygous in an animal the more "issues" seem to pop up.
Breed for what you want your end morph to be or have pairing for and then be willing to deal with the results.

I wouldn’t let the fact that he/she is opal stop you from breeding him/her. You may want to watch your incubation temps carefully, though. We incubate on the lower end of the range (we try to keep it at 81°F though we have climbed up to 82.5° on some days) and, so far, no kinks.
