The "implication" of a percentage on a sulphur line animal is incorrect... as far as I know Sulphur is a Color Phenotype... so either the animal looks the part of or does not. Sulphur x Anything is an Outcrossed. Like most floridana there will always be a spectrum of color when you breed a desired trait into unrelated stock. Percentages (%) do not belong here.

I'm unsure about the other Sulphurs out there but last season I bred Brandon Osborne's Sulphur 100% het Lavender to two females... a Lavender and a Hypo... NONE of the babies were close to as nice/intense as the sulphur (sire)...

In the Sulphur x Hypo clutch... they were pretty yellow... nice yellow.. but not SULPHUR YELLOW

Sulphur X Hypo Male 1


Sulphur x Hypo Male 2


In the Sulphur x Lav clutch ... the babies were very dull... looked like regular floridana... but now the one "normal" het and the two lavenders are picking up color... still no where near as INTENSE as Sulphur x Sulphur babies Brandon had a few years ago... but WELL above your average lavender.

Sulphur X Lavender Male


Sulphur x Lavender Female 1 (spotted):


Sulphur x Lavender Female 2:


I think there's more to Brandon's Sulphur. He is intensely yellow (looks hypo actually), Yellow near patternless belly pattern and has white scale all over... actually if you look at the white scales they run straight now his back

Sulphur (sire)


Lavender Female:


Hypo Female:




Now with Tom Agosta's Flames ... he calls these (below) "Extreme Flames" ... now it could be a line bred thing or a recessive.... time will tell. After seeing the hypos from this line and noting that there is ZERO black on them... it wouldn't surprise me if there was more to these than just "line bred"
