Sables are slightly hypermelanistic. This increase in melanin gives a dark wash without making them completely black. Rather it appears as if their darker colors have been tweaked just a bit. Lateral brown pattern often contains black flecking which can create a granite type pattern. The dorsal pattern is fairly typical however some specimens may have faint blushing spots in the black pattern. These blushing spots may fade to auburn color at maturity. Light flecking is present on the belly.

I acquired my sable stock from Raul Gomez. His founding sable is unique and has produced some really nice offspring including some super sables. The super sable is a nice dark mutation that opens the door to many new morph combinations.
