super tiger retic.

strange how i havent put pics on here of the latest purchase. Got this little fella in march, photos dont really do him any justice looks alot better in real life.
could probably do with some updated pics but these will have to do for now. hes had a shed and grown a couple inches since iv had him.

hes about 9-10 months old at a guess, roughly 4n half foot long n for now resembles a corn snake in size. he was a live feeder but hasnt hesitated at taking FT rats from tongs without any prompting. should be fun next year or two when hell most likely be on rabbits!! lol
im hoping he doesnt get any bigger than 13-14ft but suppose thats all part of the game. lol

and oh yeah this is my only reptile that has a name, "bananna man"

I know one person who'll never visit yours in a few years time But he is stunning Paul.

Bananaman rocks!! Great looking snake there Paul

hi were did you get him and how much did he cost-
13-14ft i heard the tigers are slightly bigger!

That is one stunning snake Paul, super tigers and albinos have to be my fav retic morphs. Its also great you got him feeding on f/t too, is he a Bob Clark animal?

I've heard that tigers get a fair size, so I'm guessing this also applies to the supers. Certainly any tigers Per had when he was here didn't take their time in growing LOL and his platinum tiger female was 14ft and growing!

to be honest it didnt take any time on my part getting him switched over from live!! lol he sees the food and strikes!!! mental strike at that!! hes only a baby and is stronger than the adult female hog island!! lol
only problem with the live feeding is a couple of scars along his body length.

he is a Bob Clark and was bought for £260.

as for size thing im hoping he dont reach mega size with it being a male he should even out around that, but he is a tiger so should be a little bigger therotically than a "normal" but with them being so slender ill prob never realise if he was longer. lol

did you import him from bob Clark?
is the £260 inc shipping

nah thats what i paid for him, hes over in essex regularly, and couriers are starting to come over here now, £50 i believe to your door but on a specific date tho so they can get a run together.

he's still looking great paul!!! Ya know, we were half tempted to take him for ourselves and let you have the nutjob caramel!!!!
Glad you went with that name

ILL GLADLY TRADE YOU LISA!!! lol

Banana Man rocks...don't part with him Paul

ha ha!!! looks like he's gonna go back now anyways. wanna make some supertiger caramels

mines is a male anyway lisa, dont think that would work! lol

no, didn't mean that ma dear!
I'm changing my guy for the tiger caramel he was originally supposed to be, as have managed to find me a grown on tiger female het caramel, happy days!!! They were supposed to come over this week, but i'm gutted as bob couldn't fit them in....so have to wait until haam in sept :(

That pair should make some unbelievable babies in future

You've it all worked out Paul!

hed done a little mess in his viv so was cleaning it out n decided to get few pics, not really worth posting as he didnt want to play ball and this is as good as i could get sadly, but took them so thot might aswell post them up.

hes touchin 5ft now, and is starting to get a bit of an attitude as i havent been paying him as much attention lately as i had done between work and father duties.

I like the middle shot Paul, he really is beautiful that Bananaman of yours

he's so funky. And he hasn't got too much of an attitude when you can grab pics without having the camera splattered with blood

He's so bright! Can't wait to see this guy in a year's time

Super 'Tic Paul - Tigers, Super Tigers, Super Dwarfs and Purple albinos make me think seriously about Retics, but I'm just waiting for Lisa to produce some Super Dwarf Purple Albino Super Tigers and then I'll jump on board the Retic train [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

hey, what about caramels, Karl?! They're even more breathtaking than purples!
Or the golden child...have some exciting plans for my girl when i pick her up
The superdwarf purples - or at least other albino phases - maybe sooner than i thought, all going to plan

The caramels are growing on me but after seeing Super Tigers, Super Dwarfs and Purple Albinos in the flesh I was blown away....all stunning Retics and to have Super Tigers and Purple Albinos in dwarf form would be a dream for me, second only to someone handing me a pair of Rough-scaled pythons or albino Black-headed pythons :)

have to say if id had the money id of had a carmel tiger anyday, ill jus have to get saving the £3k or so they cost!! Lol
Saying that I do like banana man alot, possibly more lately since he shed again for me.
Keep us updated on the albino retics, might be tempted into one. Lol

Another tic I had my eye on was a suntiger, very vivid colouring, forgot to hav look for Super suntiger. id say they'd b fairly breathtaking

Haha! But caramels are just so much deeper than purples - plus the rest of the colouring is beautiful and honey like - not lots of white like the purples!
Saying that, i think dwarf purples are far nicer than the mainlands - the jampea patterning with purple just blows me away. Most of that white is gone, with a gorgeous pattern of yellow and purple. I was lucky enough (thanks to a bob clark f-up) to get one of mike wilbanks 2 yr old holdback dwarf lavs - and his luminous colour just blows me away.
I can't wait to see some superdwarf albinos in person - bob will produce his first this yr.

Chappers - watch out for Prehistoric Pets attempting to produce the first supertiger supersunfires this yr. If it happens, Jay is going to dub it the 'supernova'.
and we didn't pay £3000 for our tiger caramel

Iv been watchin ther you tube, cudnt remember if that was This year or not.
I couldn't aford £300. Never mind whatever you paid, im sure u got good deal bob probably made his quota for the year on you pair alone!! Lol and ill be coming huntin when if I ever get the dosh!!

Never mind whatever you paid, im sure u got good deal bob probably made his quota for the year on you pair alone!!

You have to be on the watchout with bob. He'll make out he's giving you a good deal, then post same for sale on forums for same or less...but we're ready for him now
We'll be spending most of our money this yr with someone else tho...and then, that's it! If we want new snakes we'll just have to make them ourselves...or swap babies. I badly need a new car!
