Is this snake a blackback?

[Spaniard]

Killer Bees don't look like normals. They are worth the $$.

Are YB's not worth the $$ because they look normal also?

Something being worth the $$ is a matter of opinion and really has nothing to do with this issue about the term used to describe this kind of snake.

I'm not exactly sure what you are saying here - I actually do love the blackback look and most of the "normals" left in my collection are still here because they are blackbacks. But when it's all said and done - they are just normals with a neat look to them - nothing more - even the ones that pass their look onto their offspring - normals - sorry if I don't feel the need to call it a morph and capitalize on it.

Seems I recall someone being ALL over some poor schmuck about how the snakes he had for sale were not worth what he was asking and how she would NEVER pay those prices. This same woman was making all KINDS of noise about the poor schmucks pricing all OVER the internet.

Then, when the poor brow-beaten schmuck lowered his prices, which were actually fine for what he had prior to this loudmouthed deal seaking wench starting her tirade about how over priced he was, she bought them herself.

Yes, after so many complaints, she wound up buying them. Yes, after beating this poor newb up publicly, berating him, his snakes, and his business practices, when the price was lowered, SHE scooped them up.

Ethically bankrupt comes to mind, but that's just me, eh tasha?

Little, have you ever considered that YOU may be wrong? To this moment the MAJORITY of people when polled about the picture say it should NOT be considered a black back. So tell me, considering this fact, how are you able to determine that I am wrong when I agree with the Majority? Please, answer this question!

Surveys are by far one of the most biased and unreliable forms of statistical analysis you could get.

Your right...it's all a matter of opinion...

...and my opinion is....YB's don't look like normals

Some do and some don't; they vary a lot just like most of the morphs. Fires look normal to some people; its all about the person that's doing the looking, the experience they have and the number of snakes they've seen.

There are many morphs that look normal and produce amazing combos.

Huh?

There are many morphs that look normal and produce amazing combos.

...like recessive traits?

...like recessive traits?

Like granites, fires, and some ybs. I've seen many threads about granites and fires with people not seeing how they differ from normals.

Not trying to enter a pee whizzing contest, I have nothing to prove. Spend your $$ on what you feel is worth it.

One does NOT fling Pee.

One can WHIZ further, faster, in greater quantities or more colours than another, but one cannot FLING Pee.

Now poo, one CAN fling poo. Just ask mcvana, he's been doing it for several days now.....

I fixed it; but technically I could have been flinging pee ice cubes, I never did specify
