Sable Pics!

My guy just shed, and I haven't really photographed him much since we have had him. He appears to get darker with each shed, and I just can't get enough looking at him. They also have some cool bellies, so I tried to take a pic of that too, but he wasn't the most cooperative upside down snake. Here are some pics. I also tried some different flash settings and lighting, so they could be better, but I am trying to tweak a few things.

sweet belly!!

Tim that guy is hot!

Thanks everybody. He is one of my favorites for next year's breeding program. I wish I could have bred him this year and got a female (I love the supers), but as everyone already knows, There is always next year! LOL.

That is a superliciously sexy stunning Sable!!!! Can't wait to see what you produce with him, Tim. The best Sables have a kind of velvety, oily look to them with iridescence you don't normally see in a ball python, and yours is no exception....that's really a nice animal. I bet it's hard to capture the extent of his rainbow sheen using a digital camera.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Sables are going to continue to grow in popularity, especially when it comes to combos. ;) :twisted:

K~

That is a nice looking sable Tim! I wish you best of luck with him!

Thanks Kara. You are correct in that he is one of those animals that are extremely difficult to photograph. I think that in person he is slightly darker. He does have that velvety appearance though. I love it. Definitely one of my favorite aquisitions from last year.
Thanks for the luck Mike.

Reminds me of Good strong coffee.... and a chunk of dark chocolate!!!! :tongue2:
