Sulfur = ButterBloodred

[pewter]

After all that name discussions and polls, I decided to give the not very nice "Butterbloodred" a better and shorter touch. Just like Pewter gives a nice description of Charcoal Bloodreds including their variability, I thought that naming them after a natural/chemical element would be a good idea.
What first came to my mind was sulfur and I think this is the best description for the animals I was able to found... so here 2 Examples for sulfur:

I know, I don't have adults yet and so this might be a little early for giving names - but I think you get the idea of how the animals will look like.
Here 2 newer pics of the 03 Sulfur girl:

When I see the pictures of sulfur, the name fits and seems appropriate. But when I think of the word sulfur, I think of the noxious smell. So, I'm kinda on the fence on this one.

Even though I'm new here, I would like to suggest "butterscotch" instead of sulfur, I too, think of the smell. But a beautiful color like that shouldn't be associated with that smell.

 

[Menhir]

I didn't even think of the smell before I red that...

Butterscotch is already used by Don Soderberg.

I don't know why the "smell" is a problem - do you like the smell of Butter or Lavender?
No, just kidding - I like the name cause color is the most important fact and I think sulfur fits this excellent.

Hi,

i think the name fits the snake very well. Ofcourse we need to wait until we see a full grown, but the way it is going, the name and color of snake are a perfect match, i think!

Hope to breed some myself in a year

Regards,
Jelle

matching the color is most important, so sulfur would definatly match... beautiful colors...

 

[Darin]

I think sulphur is a great description for that snake. Very nice looking animal.

 

[Just A Beginner]

I agree, sulphur/sulfur make me think of the bright yellow deposits at sites of volcanic activity. I think colour matching is the most important here, as we are talking about the appearance of a morph. If this was perfume, it would be a different matter!

 

[Simon]

Well I think that Sulfur is not that bad.

But personally I like Butter Bloodred for now. I would want to see what it looks like as an adult before I put anything onto the name...~~

 

[pewter]

whatevery they will look like ... sulfur will fit - belive me ;-)
there is no reason to expect something special from that color morph.

Daniel,

Could you please make a picture of the Bloodred Butter with daylight without flash when you have the time? I am very supriced to see the red color again in this animal. maybe it is just my screen because my monitor shows animals more red than they are.

 

[pewter]

no problem,

left is minolta a 1 and right fuji 602

 

[Marcel Poots]

Thanks, indeed it looks way more red than most normal Butters. Strange. It is not even a year old right? So, the fading of the pattern will start right about now? At age two it might be a way more interesting snake to look at.

 

[pewter]

I don´t find them that "red".
and I also don´t know if the fading will start anyway ;-)
also the caramel blood red´s look really "normal" ... even the parant´s (normals!) look more patternless ...so let´s see what happens ...

 

[Marcel Poots]

I think Jelle's Butter that he got from you also is way more red than a normal Butter. At least compared to all the Butters we see in Holland. They tend to be very bright yellow.

So are there any updated pictures or pictures of some aged sulfurs? btw whats the oldest known Sulfurs out there?

 

[Katt]

Sorry, I'm not the greatest with morphs, but what makes that a blood red? I see the belly pattern, but where's the bald head and lack of side pattern? Does blood red appear different in different morphs?

 

[So Pirate55]

I cant say for sure, but it might be that the parents were homo bloodred and that being the case, then the offspring would have no other choice but to be a bloodred. Pewter could help you out more

 

[pewter]

I have a few new pic´s but the snake didn´t look that much different so far...
Here are some old pic´s ...
this snake is something like 12 month old ...if this is the oldest?
I simply don´t know if someone without internet has some of them in his collection???

And to Katt, the head pattern is in my opinion just one sing to be blood red. it has not much to say.
I saw wonderfull unicolor blood red with a nearly normal head pattern ...i also saw some clutches of average blood red with nearly all animals with normal head pattern ... and I saw normal corns from outcrossed blood red with that head pattern...so what gives us a good blood red head???
i would say just a better cance to be be a nice blood red ...
the side pattern is might be a bit more important.
I saw a lot of blood red´s with normal side pattern that developed average, but I thing if they have a no lateral pattern the chance to get unicolor is much better.

And if you look at anery blood red´s ...the are often nearly white sided with a perfect blood red head. but that morph seems to be not been able to get unicolor ....
