Near perfect Blackback with a twist!

I'm picky when it comes to my snakes. I have been looking for one this nice for a long time. I find this guy and snatch him up immediately despite being told it was a male. I get him home. Set up quarantine. Feed. He sheds. I weigh him. 600 grams. I try to pop him. No go. I think, wow this guy can hold it in good huh? I pull out the probes. 3 scales right side.. 3 scales left side.. Really? I better get some A&D ointment and check again. It must not be lubed enough.. One more time. 3 and 3.. Its a GIRL!!! I could not be happier! I think she is the most beautiful normal I have ever seen. Someday soon this girl is going to help me make whitebacks!

That is one sexy blackback. Grats on it being a girl too.

I had a similar thing happen with a pastel once. I bought it as a male for $95 and got home, popped and popped and then checked again the next day... Bam... It's a girl... WOOT! She was 400g. That was a STEAL!

Grats again! Good luck with her.

Pattern is almost always "genetic" but I know what you mean.. I wont know until I breed her next year but I'm wiling to bet if put with another blackback, or whiteback albino, that I would get blackbacks out of it. Her pattern is the only reason I got her. Usually, when they are that complete, it does end up being a dominant trait so Im hopeful.
