    I think that the jury is still out on them, but I'm not sure when the last time this was updated:

    Well...... Yes and no... There are black backs out there that are het reds, but there are also non-genetic black backs that aren't even remotely related to the het red strain.

    Adam's pic of his black back axanthic is a good example of this.
