It's nice to hear it's normal. I guessed as much, but wasn't sure. It was my first clutch of snakes (from a gravid female I rescued), so I've never culled anything before. I debated about culling the other one that ended up dying, but it died before I really made up my mind. This one is perfectly happy though and eats and crawls around just fine, so unless it starts to show some sign of being in misery or of its body just shutting down I'll just let it live out its life with me. I've grown rather fond of it and am rather intrigued. Heh. Thanks for letting me know it's normal to have a couple deformed ones!
