Could you also post pics of the sides and top of that same snake? The belly looks a lot like one of females that I've been wondering about (especially after her last clutch came out looking a little "off".

I know that the chances that she is a Sable are slim, but she does have some similar characteristics.

Thanks!

Here you go.

Thanks, Noah. While that snake and mine have quite a few similarities, I'm reluctant to put a definite tag on her at this time. She is close, but there are enough traits that are different for me to hesitate.

Thanks, though, at least I was able to pare down the options a little more.

Your very welcome. Got any pics of her?

n/p

No, I don't have pics of her right now and she is so skittish that once I begin cooling her for the season I generally leave her alone as much as possible. I'll try to remember to get pics either next time I clean out her tub or when the breeding season is over.

She has the same type of belly and her color is fairly similar. However, her pattern is no where near as busy as the snake's in the pics.

I also have one of her sisters who also has some strange attributes. Her belly is clear and so far she has passed this trait onto her offspring. She has a fairly reduced pattern and her color is very bold.

I ended up giving away most of her offspring last year and now that I see how the couple that I held back are coloring up I wish I had kept the whole clutch. So far, the Pastels are getting more bold, not lighter or browning out at all. The "wild type" hold back has a reduced pattern just like mom, as well as the clear belly. However, she also has a very distinct yellowing of the scales along her spine that is nearly impossible for me to capture on camera and her pattern is outlined in a thick white outline. She is also becoming more bold with each shed, no signs of fading so far. I'll be breeding her back to her Pastel brother when they are both up to size and breeding the son back to the mother to see if I have anything. All of the animals also have the neck stripe and "J hooks" in their pattern that some say is characteristic of some types of hets.

Time will tell. Not getting my hopes up, but it's my version of a "dinking project".

Even if all they do is make the colors "pop" that is enough for me.

Thanks Noah. Just have to wait and see if he proves out. Does not look the same as yours.
