Just because you buy a snake labeled as a "blackback" does NOT make it a morph. Now if you buy a "blackback" from a proven line or prove it out yourself thats different. Just like you cant go buy a reduced pattern and say it a morph. It has to be proven either buy the previous breeder or yourself. Until then it is nothing other than a "fancy" normal. Can it be genetic? Sure but how can you call it a morph if you dont understand how those genetics work? Is it Dom/Co-Dom, Recessive or just polygenetics? To call TSK's TRi-Stripe a blackback is just wrong.. i have never seen another "blackback" look like a tri stripe? Same goes for Joe Compels "brownbacks". They dont look like your typical "blackback". Does anyone know of any "blackback" lines that have been proven and can identify how the genetics are passed?



Thanks

Anthony
