Am I the only one who likes Sables?

My Sable pair is locked up and I have to say I am stoked. I got the pair for one purpose, to make myself a Super Sable. I think my destination for this project is Super Sable Sulfur or Super Sable Ghost.

I do like sables, but they aren't super high on my list of favorite morphs. I do find myself gradually appreciating them more, especially with a few neat combos I've seen.

And what good is this thread with no pics?!

I am a big fan of them. I got a really nice one in Daytona in 08 and he is currently breeding my pinstripe female. I am hoping for something similar to a camo ball eventually.

I love sables too. I really can't wait to get one for my mojave so I get sable mojaves.

Good luck on that John. I love my Sable Pin girl. She has finally strated eating on her own, and putting on some weight. I guess I need to get an updated pic soon. I am also breeding my Sable male to a Pastel this year, in hopes of a Pastel Sable male, to put on my Sable Pin girl, and hopefully in the future make a Pastel Camo with the Sable gene.

I think Sables are highly underrated, but they may make a comeback once more combos are done with them.

OK, finally warmed up a bit today, so, here is my Sable pair. One looks textbook, one looks a bit Axanthic.

Sorry about the lousy pics, but they DID NOT WANT to sit still.

how can you tell a sable from a dark normal?

You must use the Force.

OK, not really, they are dark, granite looking, with certain belly markings.....or, in my case, I just got mine from the dude who originated them:)

Dave

Agree with Tim, Dave. The combos are where it is at and will bring more than a few folks back to Sables!!! :) Good luck on the super.

I am trying my Calico male on two Sable girls this year hoping for a Calico sable male for the two girls next year.
Anyways love to see the Sable pin picks or any other sable crosses that are out their.

I'm a sucker for sables and chocolates but none of them has been sale in Scandinavia and some parts of Europe.

I have nothing against dark colored morphs but im more of a lighter color albino type person. Still a beautiful snake and i would deff pic one up on the future. :gj:

I don't have any but I def like the sables :gj:

That should be a cool cross.....mmmmm calico sable.

I like them too. They are another one of those morphs that you have to see in person to get the full picture on what is going on.

Come on....updated pics!
A word of caution - the pastel sable isn't too pretty when it hatches. In fact, I thought I whiffed on that project all together. There was a decent pastel and one ugly looking pastel in the clutch.
I have a problem where I try to keep every snake that I produce.....this time it paid off:)
After a handful of meals it became apparent that there was sable mixed in. She was ugly when she hatched but has been maturing nicely.
I am very interested to see what a pastel sable pin will look like and how similar it will be to the camo.
Get it done!

Do you have any pics of the Pastel Sable when she hatched and now?

Not my favorite bp, but they like all are unique in their own right:)

Thanks for the write up Joe. I have seen a couple Pastel Sabels, and I wasn't impressed either. However, I am looking in the future, and what I can do with a Pastel Sable, versus what it looks like on its own. What might a Pastel Super Sable look like, and the whole I think it will be a Pastel Camo thing keeps me going too. I am actually going to get some updated pics in an hour or so.

I agree....it is a breeder's snake. I kind of look at snakes like this as "hets", in the sense that they aren't anymore visually appealing than a normal (not knocking normals) but that they get you to another morph. The pastel sable will prove to be a valuable stepping stone.
The cool thing is that they do get better looking with age. I'm not saying they get pretty or anything but better looking;)
