Sable originated in the United States at Gecko Haven in Gettysburg PA. One characteristic of the Sable morph that we can confidently state is its significant influence on the genes responsible for white coloration in geckos. While some Sable individuals tend to lose some of their white coloration as they age, it is clear that Sable enhances white pigmentation.
