Am I the only one who likes Sables?

[Joe_Compel]

I love my Sable Pin girl. 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.

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'll see if I can get some pics up later in the day.

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
