Yeah, I don't know much about those morphs but I have heard of those and I thought it could possibly be that. Black back or not it looks cool!

If she will take them. if you know that shed weighs 316 grams, then you can determine how much you should feed her. The rule is 15% of her body weight, so you should feed her 47.4 grams of rodent (316*0.15=47.4)
It doesn't need to be exact (+/- 5 grams isn't going to hurt)

I am not an expert but I think your girl looks awesome :gj: I think she'll fatten up for sure.

X2. I also get mine onto rats as soon as possible.
