Sulfur = Fire

[EmberBall]

If you have a CB Fire, from Davies line, and breed it to a female, WC or not, the Fire type offspring can be assumed to be Fires. If you breed a Fire male to a WC Fire type female, and get Black Eyed Lucies, call the offspring Fires, or whatever you want.

My breeding was a different sitiuation. First, Fires were the new "it" morph to have, producing the Holy Grail of Balls at the time, The Lucy. I did not have a spare $40K male Fire hanging around to breed to my female (s), to quickly prove the females out. I also had zero help from the people who had Fires, for the obvious reasons...protect their investment. Had I done a Fire to my female as the first breeding, and produced a Lucy, I would have probably called the offspring, and the original female, a Reid line Fire, or, might have still called them something with a Fire theme if I thought calling them Fires was going to cause a problem. I want to reiterate, the fact that NOBODY said, from day one, those ARE Fires. The first opinion on the Ember, which was the first two of the females to produce, was some type of Co Dom Hypo, not a Fire, but an actual Co Dom Ghost if you will. I even put a post up on KS saying new line of Hypo. I am not saying any of the first Fire owners were bad guys, I am just saying, based on a $40K per snake price tag on the original Fires, nobody was in a hurry to help me figure my snakes out, especially if it meant another way to get a Black Eyed Lucy, and possibly cut into their sales. Remember, at this time, Lucies were $200K, and VERY sought after.

What is done is done, and I am proud of what Eric S. and I have accomplished with the Sulfur. Like it or not, the name seems to have stuck, and I will not be changing anything. I will not be breeding Sulfur x Fire either, since I do not have one of Davies animals. I am sure it will be done soon enough though.
