What the heck is a Blackback?????

Hey all,

I was wondering, What the heck is a blackback ball python. I have seen a multitude of people saying they have a "blackback" but I cant find a real discription of them. Any help?????? Thanks all,

This awesome pair of het albinos would be considered Black Backs. :) http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n...g?t=1174330788

Thats RDR's description of black backs, theres also one on Markus Jayne's site

Where the snake has little to no pattern crossing over the top part of his back. Like a strip of black going down in a stripe from head to tail.

Dang you two are fast!

Thanks, What I was confused about was the "black" in blackback. I have one of these and it is all black but then I saw one with brown blushing in the back but bieng advertised as "blackback. I think I get it and thanks for the help.

Pssst Markus Jayne Ball Pythons is the company
its a family business run by Mark & Jayne Mandic. :D

But yea he got loads of info.

When I imported this ball python as a baby in 1998, he had a solid black stripe running down his back ... almost 10 years later it's turned to a nice faded chocolate color ... Black back, brown back, whatever you want to call it, doesn't matter to me ... I call him Smokin Hot! ;) :D

Pretty much ... maybe one day I'll breed him ... for now, I think I'll just enjoy being able to handle him and appreciate his beauty whenever I want. :D
