Suggestions and Advice?

Okay, so I am reaching out in hopes for advice...and I'm not quite sure where this would go, so I thought this could be a good place...

So, I have taken in a ton of snakes over the years. I really love them. ^.^ Most of the time, however, the animals I receive are from people that haven't cared for them properly...they've been neglected or fed improperly, ect.

Most of the time, I simply get them into an actual enclosure, get them the right food (you'd be surprised what people try to feed snakes...). There's been some moments when I've simply told people I can't take their animal just because I'm not a vet or anything, and there's a lot I can't do.

I took in, however, three snakes recently because of the conditions they were kept in. One, however, alarmed me. The tail is kinked...I'm not sure if it is genetic or if it is an old wound. I forked over some money, and they vet checked the snake out. She's a little darling, however, most of the snakes I take in, once they are healthy, I just turn around and find them homes that are hopefully better than where they came from. The ones I keep I tend to breed.

So, this little darling, I wouldn't feel alright breeding, I think she would have some trouble. According to the vet, however, it doesn't seem to cause her pain, she feeds and passes her food without any issues, and mobility isn't impacted.

Long story short (too late), I can't keep her. My snakes are for breeding. Normally I would attempt to find her a home, however, I'm worried that people will be biased against her because of the deformity. Would anyone on this forum have any ideas on how I should go about searching for a home, or know of any rescues that would be willing to take her on?

I know this is a little strange, but I'm not sure where to go from here, because I've never had this issue. I really want to send pictures, however, this is telling me that I need to resize the file and I don't know how to do that. :\
