    Re: Possible Blackback?

    I guess I'm part of the club that thinks blackback isn't a morph...but more a characteristic (not always genetic) of any animal. Any morph can be a blackback and it's something you have to selectively breed for.

    Black back is a genetically inheritable trait, call it what you want but if it produces more black backs it's genetic no different than a pastel producing more pastels.

    Not all black backs are genetic, I think that's where it gets a bad rap.

    OP, the only way you'll know for sure is to breed it.

    Not to derail but the same with granites

    Back to OP, I would hold her back and breed her.

    It's a very pretty snake. She could pass on her black back, like others said, you never know till you try!
