Re: shouldn't there be a governing body
I thought a blackback had to have mostly all black along its spine... The snake in the pic has a normal pattern for the first half of it's body, then about 25% of the back is black, then the last 25% including the tail is a brown stripe, not black. I see at most 1/3 black back. Is there a set of rules that classify a blackback, or is it like a reduced pattern where anyone can argue "the pattern is reduced somewhat so it is reduced pattern" even though some or most of the snake still has alien eyes... I guess I am confused really.
*EDIT* I guess I should have made that a new thread? Sorry for hijacking...

It is only the extra cool kids that eat their own tongue...
Re: shouldn't there be a governing body
Don't know if there are any set rules on what clasifies a snake as a black back. Generaly speaking almost all of the back needs to be black!!!! Some of the nicer ones I have seen do have a small strip at the tail, but pretty much the whole rest of the back is black... here is a good example.

Anyways, I am not just talking about this one post at all. There have been a few "questionable" posts lately.
Re: shouldn't there be a governing body
Looks like a black back to me, although a low quality one. :confused:
Re: shouldn't there be a governing body
I'd call that a black back as a descriptor. I don't think the ad claimed it to be a genetic black back. :confuzd:
Just as reduced pattern is not guaranteed to be genetic, there are genetic reduced patterns, and then reduced pattern as a descriptor.
Re: shouldn't there be a governing body
Ok. This is my snake for sale that's being mentioned. I would have appreciated to be PM'ed about this thread by whoever had the problem before you started a thread on it.
Anyways, I don't know why you don't consider that animal a black back. I bought it from Ralph Davis back in November. Ralph Davis, one of THE biggest ball python guys out there, wrote black back on it's record card. I did not over emphasize black back (as a matter of fact I only wrote the word black back one time...) because she isn't the most amazing black back, but she certainly is one. I didnt say genetic, but I did say she should have an influence on her offspring patternwise. That is a reasonable claim. If you don't think she is a nice black back, then don't buy her.
As for price, again, that's completely at my discretion as the seller. If you don't agree with the price, that is completely fine. I don't agree with plenty of prices either. Again, just don't buy the snake.

You can price the animal however you see fit Randy. :gj:
And I do think it's pretty rude to not have contacted the owner of the snake before this rant. It looks like a black back to me.
The Mods do their job very well on this site. You can only take away so many freedoms before it inflicts on the regular users.
