Is this snake a blackback?

[rabernet]

.....perhaps the name "Black Back" is incorrect then? Just like how Patternless Leopard Geckos were/are called lucys even tho they are not try leusitics? I duno...."black back" just doesnt seem like the right name for the phase then. If someone tried to sell me a snake like that above at an inflated price because it is a "black back," I wouldn't bite...again, it looks like someone trying to get an extra buck from a normal....we have all seen it before....

At best, that snake is a dinker.

So take out the black back part of it - what would you pay for a female that is close to breeding weight (no matter the pattern)? I don't think the asking price is out of line for an almost breedable weight female.

There's an asking price, complete disclosure of her eating habits, and there's a picture for you to judge - is this snake worth it to you to spend the asking price? If not - no big deal. To someone else - it probably is worth it.
