I see. I was always under the imression that the sulfur's from the Hillsborough County area were not a simple recessive, but I guess I was wrong. I know they can certainly express it with varying intensities. I guess it is similar to the extreme hypo gene in Hondos where a clutch can also display varying amounts of hypomelanism intensity. Even when two extremes are bred together, it doesn't mean they will all look the same by any means. I have proven that out several times myself, and should see this same thing again in September.

The sulfurs are indeed hyperxanthic animals, especially the insanely yellow one's in Zenny's posts, and some other's I have seen. Maybe some of the more normal looking "sulfur's" I have seen that aren't nearly as yellow are actually the het's of the sulfur clutches??. I just don't know nearly as much about them as I would like at this point..LOL!
