However, if you were ever thinking about it, he should not breed. Otherwise, if this is not what you are talking about and you are talking about the tippy tip of his tail, an even further zoomed in photo might be helpful.

Yes, that's it. Is Red a defect, or is it a minor kink? He seems to become very suddenly smaller there. No waste yet. I can see the digestion, and he's being very active. Hopefully he's okay, as I don't want the link to be harmful.
As far as breeding it, is it a genetic quality that is undesirable, or could it cause issues with breeding it? It looks like it might be on the... genital part of a snake. I don't intend to breed it, but if I did, I think it would be a distinct way of identification. I definitely would not breed Red for profit, so if that's it, it is a minor issue.
