Show off your Black Backs!

[KRAZE]

I'm a sucker for normal balls with nice black backs, so i figured I would start a thread where we can all share some black back snake pics! Whether they are genetic or not, post them up with a little history about how/why you got him/her... I bet it was becasue of the Black Back! lol

I'll start it off... This is Stanley Goodspeed, he's a 2011 Ghana male, weighed in at 199.02g on 4/17/12. Won on Auction on 6/3/11 from Ben Siegle for $61 by my roomate and given to me as a birthday present becasue he knew how much I loved black backs (i then got him an awesome crestie at the White Plains expo in july in return for his b-day)

Not the best picture to show his pattern but this is the only chocolate I've produced so far with blackback tendencies. I think he is het pied so I'm holding him back to go for chocolate pied and eventually super chocolate pied (his chocolate half-sister also with the pied belly markers is more banded – both are known possible het pieds).

Only black back stuff I have are my het red axanthic and red axanthic...

This was my second ball python and first black back, purchased in 2001 in the 120g range. Died in 2009 when a winter storm knocked out power for 5 days in NH while I was at school. Came home from a long day on campus to no power and a dead snake. I was furious. I only have 8 photos of her, these are the ones showing her back.

Yes, in this pic the the snake is dead. Sad sight, but it shows the full back.

Yeah, het G-stripes are sure weird. But they look cool.

Sorry you lost her, Kris. She was a beauty.

Here are two girls we produced last year. They are clutch mates, Rosie is the butter, Bubbles the normal. Just took pics tonight, they are growing like weeds!

Here is an import I picked out this past year. I've seen quite a few blackbacks, but this guy took the cake. Not sure if he will fit into our breeding plans this next year, but I'd like to see what he produces.

Wow Brant, that is a sexy blackback

 

[R. Eventide]

Cari: The blushing on Bubbles is fantastic! And I like the muted tones of the Butter.

Brant: Wowzers! Now that's a black-back! I see why you picked out that one!

Pic of my Cinny

Dont really know if shes a Black Back....but she is a Cinny mixed with something and something else.....my best guess and only a guess is a Cinny Calico Black Back...wont know for sure for a few years when I breed her...nick name is "KILLER" because she likes to kill hops and mice but not eat them....I offer food every week and she eats about every 10 to 15 days and every shed has stuck nose plugs and eye caps...picked her up on trade so she only cost me about $300.00. Even though she is a pain in the you know what she is still my favorite out of 67 breeder and future breeder Ball Pythons.
Enjoy
