From what Dan told me, he collected the two original hets a year apart within a few yards of each other. When he paired the two wc snakes 1.1 sables were produced. He said he then raised the male up to breeding size the following year and bred her back to the original het mother producing quite a few sables. Then the next year bred the sable male to the females produced in the original wc het pairing (the 66% poss hets I guess) and proved one of the females out to be a definite het. That is how I understand it, which I guess would solidify they are recessive, but I didnt know there was mystery around them? Ive always thought they are going to make some killer combos...toffee sables and lavender sables come to mind
