I believe the Flame Hypo has been bred with the Davies fire. When we can prove that the sulfur is indeed it's own mutation or an allele of the fire we then can add extra tags to the baggage.
Lol....I think you misunderstood what i meant. I don't see it as you do....I think the "extra tags" should stay right where they are until the morphs are proven to be compatible. The different names might actually have some merit. Maybe they are just very similar but will manifest themselves differently in crosses. If that is the case, then the different name tags will prove to be useful.

At this point, I do assume that the fire and sulfur are the same (the super forms look similar to me) but that is just my opinion......and my opinion doesn't really mean much until someone does the homework. It is just my opinion....not fact.

For what it is worth, I appreciate it when a breeder runs a project through the ringer to figure out all the twists and turns. But I can't fault a breeder for letting some snakes out before all questions are answered.......sometimes it just comes down to available space.....sometimes it comes down to time.....sometimes it comes down to money.
