About
Sulfur is a polygenic trait.
Issues
The Sulfurs were immediately bred into Lavender Albinos, and they became very popular. In fact, they became so popular that it became almost impossible to find Sulfurs that were not Lavenders. My friend Nick Mesa has some of the few remaining true Sulfurs in the hobby. Unfortunately they have had fertility issues, and many enthusiasts await to see if there will ever be pure baby Sulfurs available again. [2]
History
Sulfur is a mutation that originally was found in wild caught kings from the Tampa area of Hillsborough County, Florida. Len Krysco found some of the first ones, and then others were found in the same general area. Len used to sell them as “School Bus Yellows”. Andy Barr used these Sulfurs to make a line he used to call “Dream Kings”. [1]
Appearance
Body
The body of a Sulfur is dominated by multiple shades of yellow throughout the animal.
Proven Lines
There are still some lines with obvious Sulfur in their family tree. Tom Stevens and Brandon Osborne each produced a line of Sulfur Lavenders for many years. [3]
