There might be another co-dominant mutation in florida kings, the "peanut butter". This should be proved or disproved with this years hatchlings.
If Sulpher is a co-dom, there is no such thing as hets....something would have to be visible in the "hets" sometimes this is something very obvious (mojave balls) or sometimes they are difficult to differentiate from normals (Yellowbelly balls ot "het ivory" balls)
The question would be is the sulpher brooks the "super" manifestation of the mutation or is there a yet unseen form, and the sulphers are in themselves the hets....I don't have any of the sulphers so I don't have any firsthand knowledge of them, but I am working with the PBs and a co-dom mutation in ratsnakes called "Rusty" in which the super form exhibits itself as a luecistic animal.
It should be obvious with any sulpher to normal breeding, if sulphers are produced...then it must be an either dominant (spider balls, hypo boa) trait or a co-dom (mojave, yellowbelly)..It amazes me with all the years of breeding guttata & lampropeltis that there aren't more co-dom mutations out there....there have been close to a dozen or more show up in the ball pythons in recent years but the only Corns I know of are the Ultras....and in kings, the Checkerboard Holbrooki & possibly the Peanut Butters & perhaps Sulphers
Great things are on the horizon with brooks mutations
By the way Z, those animals are knockouts.
