Is this snake a blackback?

[Mike Cavanaugh]

Mike,

Would you call this a black back?



Just an observation - but it appears that you are determined to be right in this. If even the founders of this hobby call it a black back, why are you calling them wrong? Not just Ralph, but even Kara of NERD stated she would call Randy's snake a black back.

Yes Robin, IMHO, I would consider this a blackback. when you look at it, it is pretty obvious. The Majority of the back is black, unlike the snake that started this thread.

I am not determined to be right. I will be the first to admit that I could be wrong. I don't just take what an acomplished person says as fact like some do. As the poll on this thread proves, most when first looking at the pic in question do not consider it a black back. Kara says she thinks it could be called a partial black back. Does the fact that Kara has an opionion make the majority of the people that responded to the poll wrong like jasballs suggested?

That is a gorgous snake by the way that you asked me about... Is it up for sale????

Macavana, I don't know you. I don't know the guy with the snake for sale. I'm not in any clique. I haven't got enough common sense to be afraid to say something that may be contrary to what the majority here think. The only person that I can see that did something out of line was you who essentially accused this guy of fraud and misrepresentation. The value of these snakes are not set in stone. You say that you have a Spider from Ralph Davis. I inquired to Ralph Davis about a Spider and felt that he wanted more than I was willing to pay and I obtained one elsewhere. Should I consider Ralph a crook because of his asking price or you a sucker because you paid more than I did? Well I do not. If the two of you were satisfied with your transaction that is all that matters. I really don't understand at all what you think that you are fighting for here.

Nope - Pretzel's not going anywhere.

So - would you concede that Randy's snake is a partial blackbak?

When did I say that "it is so horrible here?" Please be specific in your answer.

I love this site, and the people that participate in it. The fact that I log in every chance I get shows that pretty well.

I am stating an opinion that goes against the people that post all day long. Of course your first suggestion is that I no longer participate in the forum.

Ah, the pouncing I mentioned before has begun.

I am not suggesting you not post anymore. The tone of your post was that this place is hostile. I have no chip on my shoulder, your approach suggests you do.

Dude, what are you talking about? I purchased a spider produced by Ralph. I paid the correct price for a spider. I love the snake. You've lost me.

Are you sure???? I am in LOVE with that snake!!!! she is just stunning!

Yes, I will be willing to concede that Randy's snake is a PARTIAL blackback on one condition.... That of course being that every other normal in the world without a stripe / broken stripe is now also ofiicialy considered a blackback.

I see. YOU get to determine what the right price for a Spider is. I can't determine what is the right price for me to pay. YOU get to determine what a black back is. Certainly Ralph isn't able to determine the right price for a Spider when he isn't able to tell a what a Black Back is. Maybe he should have consulted with you before he put it in writing that the snake in question is a Black Back.

Dude, seriously. All joking aside. Leave that stuff alone. it can and will kill you. Just say "NO!"

I am not quite sure how to interpret your last post. However, I have made my point and it seems to me that no good purpose will be served to continue this any further.
