    Black back isn't necessarily a "morph" unless it's proven genetic. What you have is a normal who's pattern leaves the back black, with minimal spots on the back. Did you buy her as a normal or as a genetic black back? Either way she's a cutie :aww:

    Similar to what LGray said, she is a blackback, but unless she was sold to you as genetic (meaning she will pass the trait on the offspring), then it is most likely just her individual pattern, not a true morph. She can be a "normal" blackback, or she could be a genetic blackback - the only way to truly prove which one is to breed her and produce blackback offspring (aka prove her out to be genetic).

    Being a genetic trait a true black back is a morph, not a normal.
    I would guess that snake is a genetic black back but only breeding it would confirm that.

    What did you buy it as? If you bought it as a normal it is most likely a normal. Normals can vary significantly from one to the other so just because it looks different from other normals you have seen doesnt mean it is a morph. It happens but very rarely.

    I have commented before on her saying shes a normal black back meaning normal black backs really arent morphs until you prove her out when shes big enough shes a normal black back
