10gallon adults

I was at my local pet store earlier and the cashier who knows me took me in to the back to show me their most recent acquisition. It was a 3+1/2foot long corn, amel supposedly het for anery. $60. I asked why it ( hadn't been sexed ) was so cheap. He picked up the snake and it had a kink in the middle of its spine like I've never seen. It could barely unfold itself. Apparently, the cashier rescued it from a kid who kept it in a 10gallon tank its entire life. Now I figure that a 10gallon would be cramped, but wouldn't cause a kink like this ( I'll take pictures next time I'm over there, its truly amazing ). Anyone else think the cause wasn't environment, but congenital defect?
 
I think the chance that the SIZE of a 10 gallon aquarium caused a kink like that is ridiculously low. Many large breeders keep corns cramped into cages much smaller than that, and there are no resulting kinks from it. Small cages DO cause problems, but a 10 gal is only marginally too small for an average sized corn.

That is either due to physical damage, disease, or it was hatched out that way.
