Kinks in last 1 inch of tail (Yes I searched)

For a non-breeder, as long as it's otherwise healthy I don't see a problem. If the kinks were nearer the vent it might have affected it's ability to move to poop, but otherwise I think you're fine if you've fallen in love with it!

But do see if you can negotiate a discount with the shop. They shouldn't really be selling it at all, let alone at full price. Although it's clearly your ideal Corn (and we've all seen and bought them!) they need to understand that they shouldn't be rewarded for selling potentially injured or deformed snakes. It's not the sort of thing that we ought to encourage.

I hatched this kinked snake last season. Krinkle is the result of retained sperm from the previous year. He is growing and thriving. He was so adorable I had to keep him!! Krinkle has a whole fan club at my work and has helped a couple snake-phobics get over their fear of snakes!
