After a long breeding season that is coming to a close, my Sulpher male finally started breeding. He does have one more female allocated to him, and will continue to be introduced to his females for another month or two. I know that some are skeptical of this project, but seeing one in person is really amazing. I hope I captured the colors and beauty of this morph.
Enjoy,

Thanks Alice. This is one project that I was hoping to get a clutch from. Mostly because I need a female Sulpher or two.

Nice. Good luck in your breedings Tim. I am glad you like the male, and I hope he gives you some amazing crosses. I thing the Spider, Pin, and Ghost crosses should be real lookers, based on how the Mojave and Pastel crosses turned out.

Here is a baby pic of your male, in the group pic, he is the snake on the far right. The second pic is a pic of his sibling, which in the first pic, is the snake on the far left. In the group pic, the other two snakes are a Pastel Sulfur at the bottom middle, and on the top, is a normal.

what characteristics set off a sulfur from normals?

"What characteristics set the Sulfur apart from a normal?"

That is a very good question! I am sure if I let the Barkers, Ralph, or the Sutherlands, or someone with a very keen eye for detail, examine the Sulfurs, they would have a list of characteristics that the Sulfurs have, that separates them from normal Balls.

That being said, let's start with the only adult Sulfur in existance, the original Sulfur female that is in my collection. She has a Toffee body color, with maroon tint, if that makes any sense at all. In person, the original female might be mistaken for a Toffee/really light Burgundy Hypo. In fact, the original breeding loan between me and Eric Sandoval was done under the impression that she was a Hypo of some type, and we were shooting for Mojave Hypos. The Sulfur adult also has a nice light head pattern. This head pattern is very pronounced in the baby Sulfurs, but kind of blurs out in the adult a bit...think old tattoo vs. brand new tattoo. The head pattern looks like a gold triangle, or arrow head, with the point of the triangle pointing back towards the snake, as opposed to pointing over the snakes nose. The Sulfurs do not have a belly pattern, start out as babies as very milk chocolate looking, vs. normals looking more like dark chocolate. The belly is bordered by pattern that is connected over most of the length of the snake. If you put a Yellow Belly next to a normal, the YB stands out, if you put a Fire next to a normal, the Fire stands out, if you put a Sulfur next to a normal, the Sulfur stands out. I have TONS of pictures on my computer, that look much better than the ones loaded onto my photo page. Feel free to send me an email, and let me know how many pics you want, from 1-100

cool, thx

what made me interested was the sulfer pastel...the combination of sulfur with the pastel definitely looked cool in that baby group pic.

The Sulfur Mojave is amazing too. These pics are not the best, but the Maroon, or lighter Mojave is the cross with the Sulfur. The normal Mojave was a Mojave Sulfur Sibling.
