Baby garg with crooked spine

My baby gargoyle has been doing great since I got him, he’s eating like a champ, he’s grown quite a bit and I even noticed him shedding last night, but lately I’ve noticed a slight kink in his spine :( he didn’t have this when I first got him so the first thing that came to my mind was MBD but I highly doubt it considering he’s on CGD only (pangea growth and breeding to be exact). I thought about a broken spine too but I also doubt it.

Could this be something similar to a tail kink caused by a growth spurt? It doesn’t seem to affect him at all but I will definitely take him to the vet, just wanted to see what you guys think about or if something similar has happened to any of your gargs.

1st picture is when I got him, 2nd picture is from earlier today

It's hard to tell. I've had geckos that looked as if they had a kink but then I couldn't see it and I hatched a leopard gecko once that was OK when it hatched but started developing a progressive scoliosis. I think the vet visit is a good idea.
