sable?

[brother713]

heard that this is a fairly new discovery? can anyone tell me what makes a BP a sable?

[Royal Morphz]

A Sable is a Morph on its own. Breeding 2 Sables together can yeild you a Super Sable. Here is a young Sable produced by Heather's Herps.


The Sable is a subtle morph and makes a few Combos like the Mud Ball(Pastel Sable) and I believe there are a few more.

The pattern for one and then the colors. I don't own these animals anymore but you can definitely tell the difference when compared to a normal

Sables tend to be darker in the black areas of the snake. They often times will have an immense amount of black speckling in the brown alien heads. They also will often times have connecting alien eyes that form one large eye in the alien head, compared to the two eyes often seen in normal patterned ball pythons. They also have very grey and motled bellies. Lastly, they seem to have more irridiphores in the skin cells giving them a shinier appearance and making them harder to photograph because of flash bounce back.

The best way to get an eye for them is to go to a show, and try to actually put your eyes on a few, as they do have distinguishing traits, but are still considered farily subtle in their heterozygous form.

They have a kind of irridescense to them like you see with gasoline floating on water which you can't really tell from pictures. They're really quite distinctive in person.
