Fires vs Sulfurs
Is there a difference between fires and sulfurs? Do they create the same homozygous morph and are they compatible? I can't seem to find much information on sulfurs. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Re: Fires vs Sulfurs
I would liken them to Lesser/Butter, different lines of pretty much the same morph. Both make Black-eyed white snakes with varying degrees of yellow splotching. As of today, I don't think a result of a cross between Fire X Sulfur has been successful/made public.
Here goes a pic of my Sulfur Mojave:

Note: this is an exceptional example of the morph (IMO, I may be a little biased). :D

From my limited (read: small sample size) memory of seeing super sulfurs and super fires, super sulfurs may tend to have more of that yellow that black-ELs sometimes have.. or maybe not as I've only seen a handful of pics of either.

There are super sulfurs with less yellow and super fires with more yellow. Mike Wilbanks has a super fire female available now with a lot of yellow. Here's a photo of her. I would say they are probably the same mutation, just different lines.

Cool thanks for that ross.

I've hatched multiple animals from both lines, they are the same thing.
Also, if I remember correctly Sean from Exotics by Nature produced a black-eyed lucy from pastel sulfur x fire, so that really sealed the deal for me.

Re: Fires vs Sulfurs
Thanks a lot for the info guys. These things can be tricky sometimes. I figured it was similar to the lesser/butter/mojave = blue eyed lucy morph. I really like the yellow blotching and wondered if that was more of a sulfur trait. Now I just have to figure out which one to get.

Jeff is correct. Sean did produce a Pastel Super from breeding a Pastel Sulfur to a Fire. So far the creations that I have seen with both mutations appear to be the same as an end result. i.e. a Pastel Fire looks almost identical to a Pastel Sulfur and so forth.
I myself am hoping that the Super Sulfur will have a greater tendency to produce Supers with more yellow. However, I don't think enough Super Sulfurs have been produced to make a claim like that yet. I mssed on Super SUlfurs last year, and am cooking another clutch this year. Hopefully I can hit one or two.

Nice snake Sean.
With Sulfurs and Fires, I compare them to Lessers and Butters. I have produced two Super Sulfurs, here are their pics. The first one could be a Mojave Super Sulfur, but now I kind of doubt it has any Mojave. The second one is a Spider Super Sulfur possible Mojave.

That sulfur mojave is amazing.

It seems to me as though it might be possible to select for more or less yellow in the super sulfers or fires ... Is anyone going for this?
