OMG!! is that yours? It is beautiful!! Those feet are sure showing the size that the tiger will grow to...very impressive.
Thanks for sharing.

[Steeve B]

Awww I want a tiger but katey won't let me have one. She's cute, what's her temperment like?

[Steeve B]

Pleas don’t go thinking I make irrational decision like going to Sumatra after seeing a TV show, I assure you this is not the case, my motivation goes far more then this, Sumatra is one of those Island that by 2005 will have been logged in totality.
This is why going there is one of my top priorities, I may not be able to change the world, but if I can see it as it’s supposed to look like before it’s too late I will. Also if some of you ever think about keeping Lions and Tigers, pleas email me I have a few Horror stories you shod here before making such a monumental mistake, they are not pet and never will be. Yes I do and I did keep many exotic animals but only on a rescue or conservation principal. Don’t go thinking I who’d intentionally get a pet tiger, that’s none sense to me. What aim interested in is someone interested in tigers as a study subject not a teddy bear, aim also interested in water monitor population in Sumatra.
Ps. the person I got Sara from tied 2 lion cubs to a fence with dog chokers, they jumped the fence and died hung. Sadly I have many such stories

Sorry Lisa the post wasn’t for you, there’s a big difference between wishing and having lol
No I posted because someone emailed me asking if I could sell him one, I can’t believe this.
To answer your question Sara was 3 months on that photo she stayed with me until she was 4 year old, that’s how long it took to find here a home. Regards

I would love to go... unfortunately right now I'm saving for a trip to Australia, and I'm going to be absolutely (I mean ABSOLUTELY) broke after it.... I really hope you find someone to go with, I'm still trying to find someone to come with me to Australia!!!

No worry, I know currently we're not set up for one. We haven't got the $ to feed a tiger never mind the space or time to take care of one. Maybe in the future we'll be able to rescue a tiger.

Here's a pic of Suma, My mothers kitty. I just had to ad him up onto this thread.
I'd love to go on this trip if you have it planned on going in like a year or two. The main reason would be to Find a few Tomistoma Crocs but I have a fair interest in large cats as well. Let me know the details if you don't mind me tagging along. My email is reptilefreak18@aol.com.

You got to be kidding me right! Man this is a small world I have worked with 9 species of crocodilians, in fact I almost both an 11 feet Tomistoma 2 years ago. Also I worked on a gator farm in Florida, where my friend has a collection of crocs. I think you and I have much to talk about, I will email you soon. That cat looks like a male Siberian to me, these animals rely need our help, I just didn’t know we had to save them from zoos now. Well let’s not get into this. Kind regards

[KrokadilyanGuy3]

Aw man.. I so envy you.. Tomistomas are my 2nd favorite crocodilians.. Which farm did you work at? I know a few people at different farms down there. The cat, my mom says its a Bengal. I dont really know how to tell a difference besides adult sizes.
That's a fat 'lil P. palpebrosus you got there. I'll look forward to your Email.

[Steeve B]

Kind regards

[KrokadilyanGuy3]

Hmm.. I was fooled.. I'll have to place my money on saying it's a Dwarf Croc.

Here is a story for ya....

Years ago, my uncle moved down to California as a young man, to find his forture. He lived in an apartment complex (in S.F. I think) and was haning out at the pool. He starts talking to another tenant and they go up to this guy's place for some beers. My uncle sits down in the livingroom while the guy goes to the kitchen for the beer. I fair sized tiger walks into the room :eek:. My uncle is freaked right out. It came right up to him and just looked at him. They guy comes back and it lays down beside his chair. My uncle drank his beer very quickly and left...without ever mentioning the tiger...

[Steeve B]

Unfortunately there are Idiots even in San Francisco, and aim not talking about your uncle.
I think your uncle was the better man, much more impressing then the Idiot. Regards

[katev17]

Awesome , got the message, thanks Steeve!!!

Kate
