    I would say blackback, yes.

    Depends on a few things for me. Sex, weight, food taken, genetics (normal or genetic blackback).

    Thats what I thought when I saw the picture, you can see the crease running down both sides of it, it looks like its either dehydrated or underfed or both.... That snake might not be a great eater...

    Well, I can assure you none of the snakes are under fed lol. The snake pictured is a pretty female, black back with a nice reduced pattern. All of my snakes eat every 5 days. And I wont ever sell a snake unless its had atleast 3 meals consecutively every 5 days. If a snake goes 6 days before it eats, I start the cout over lol. Unfortunately this black back has been sold, and shipped already. I have one more black back available, Also female, but from an earlier clutch, and a little bigger.

    Seriously the photo doesn't lie and that things spine is showing pretty badly. It does look like it has a belly lump from a recent meal which is a good sign, but to say it is healthy looking is a bit of a stretch. I certainly wouldn't consider advertising a snake in that condition for sale, but that is just my opinion. But at the same time don't get so defensive when a number of experienced keepers point out the obvious. It is what it is, so to speak.
