Bubblz, I am curious how many different blue parents have you ever seen babies out of? I am thinking it would be from the same couple of breeders year after year.
Therefore it would be hard for anyone to say, as those that have bred them are far and few between. Anyone that has produced blues with kinks and spinal problems in the past, (was only one in particular that I can recall)... but when you have the same breeder, kept breeding the same pair together, which was producing the same problems you have seen in a couple blue babies... well, that is just poor husbandry in my book.

I have seen just as many or more in other tegu types, myself. I am not sure why you have not, or maybe you just have not paid any attention to them?

You can have a completely non-related of reds or blk/wh's with the kinks and/or spinal problems. I fully believe those are incubation related, not genetic.
