I would check with Brandon Osborne, for some reason I seem to remember that his some of clutches in the past had some hypo mix in there.

here is Ol'Yeller could be called a sulfer hypo IMHO .the sulfer gene seem to be a trait rather than a morph

Chris, I doubt your hypo has any sulfur blood.....although it is a very nice hypo. The sulfur gene is not only expressed in the color but also in the pattern. It's very hard to describe, but the difference is noticable in person. The crossbars tend to form a square, block-like pattern down the back, and the windows are much larger than normal. The color is a very deep rich yellow and almost looks waxy. I think everyone that likes brooksi should have at least one.

Adult female sulfur.

Adult male sulfur. not hypo

Brandon,I Love your sulfer strain,brightest yellow Brooks on the planet,as far as my Hypo i always just call it hi yellow

. The sulfur gene is not only expressed in the color but also in the pattern.
The hypo gene has always destroyed the brooks squareback pattern

plus the Sulfer name has been tacked on to MANY non sulfer brooks and barely even yellow! L8r Chris

Check out the sulfer ground color underneith the black and red of this Pinellas Fl. King

That is very, very pretty!
What is the story on the sulfurs such as the one pictured? Are they common?

Tony, I might have produced one a couple of years ago. It definately had the reduced melanin of a hypo......but I sold it and can't remember who ended up with it.

Here's a pic as a hatchling. Can you tell which one it is?

Never seen these as hatchlings before but I would say the one in the upper right. Do these exist as a pure strain or did they pop out of some multi het complex?
