Well I don't know anything about the Sulphur kings (or is it Zulphur ?) but the SULFUR kings I have are breeding. Though I have had some bad luck in the past with this line. Some years it works out and other years don't. Go figure?

I just got good eggs from my Sulfur snow and some Sulfur normals. I also have one female Sulfur Lavender that is about to lay. I have another female that is to this year to breed. Just finicky eater.

A lot of times I wonder if it is a good idea to give a female a break . Especially after they double clucthed evey year for the past 6 or 7 (or more) years.

Don't you hate that? My female mosaic king should have been ready to breed last year, and still wasn't big enough this year. I'm just going to have to feed her the biggest meals she will take. She was a subadult when I bought her, but it seems like I could have raised a hatchling to adult size already.

I hear that, I became spoiled after seeing MANY kings grow like weeds...and others I expected to go that route are not much bigger now that they were in November....the thing is when they do hit a growth spurt you can often make up that seemingly lost time by feeding them as much as they want to eat. My Mosaics, Goini crosses, Flame, and a few Cal Kings are growing at a snails pace.
