I have been watching the pages of Kingsnake.com for about a year and a half, specifically the ball python classifieds. I see today an ad for a Sable Female, for $5000. what is this morph? any info/pics would be appreciated. Thankyou

Jesse

The sable morph is basically a co-dominant hyper-melanistic morph. I am sure someone else can elaborate further.

Sable is a codom morph...they look kinda normal until you get the super sable, those are dark and very reduced patterns....A guy I know sold 10 supers last year and kept a large number of the sables and supers to breed in a few seasons...

I feel this is a new morph that wont get much attention until it gets crossed with a few other morphs like pastel....a pastel hypermelinistic snake.....that would rock.....I think Ill buy a few sables this year to get ahead and cross them with other morphs

how did a guy you know sell 10 super sables last yr if only 2 were in existence???

There were only 2 supers produced last year. Both by Eric Burkett. This season there might be a couple more supers produced.. I have a gravid sable female from a sable male so I might be one of the lucky few to produce one...

I hope every egg is a Super. They are awesome!!

woah that looks more like a diamond python or something

I personally saw 6 of the supers that you say didn't exsist, he had more in his hotel room at Daytona last year....he also had more at his house in Mass.....I saw 6 supers and a few regulars so I know that there were more than 2

Keep hittin' the pipe!! I hope there's 10 more out there. I won't feel bad about lowering the price!!

you know I'm full of crap!! I couldn't care if there was 100, Supers are and always will be worth their weight in gold to me!! I was the first!!

Out of everything floating around out there, this is the funniest yet. Tell your friend to put down the pipe!! LMAO

Here's some pics!! They are very variable in pattern and color, but still dark!! Many people think they look "normal", but then again they haven't seen them hatch!! A huge difference!! Far from "normal"!!

What makes a Sable a Sable and not a granite type. I know they produce Super Sables but still. The reason I ask is I have some of what I call Extreme Granites....Could mine be Sables? They kinda have the look of the sables you pictured. I will snap some shots and send them. Thanks David

WRONG... The only time I was WRONG is when I thought I was WRONG but I was really RIGHT.....LOL...LOL...LOL

All sables that I hatched have some sort of granite patterning to them!! Send me the pics I'd like to see them. I have tons I can send to you!! The Supers eyes are even granite....sweet!!!
