That is one stunning retic, I may have to come up to Canada to take it off your hands lol

[EL Ziggy]

Very impressive retic!

[Sublimeballs]

Wow, I did think he was a platty tiger. He's a keeper. Do you know what the pairing was(other then albino x tiger)? I'm wondering if he's got locale blood that cleaned him up so good.

[moshirimon]

Still waiting on a reply from the breeder. I myself have been wondering what makes him so bright.

I don't know, I have my doubts that's just a tiger. It looks exactly like a platty tiger in the second set of pics. Theres sooo much yellow. You might have gotten a great mislabeled deal.

Hopefully someone more familiar with the extreme ends(if its only the tiger mutation it's an incredible example) of retic mutations can chime in. I'm more of a locale guy then a morph guy.

[moshirimon]

I think so too. I believe he is infact a platinum tiger retic.


Any input would be greatly appreciated.

[Sublimeballs]

In the second set of pics you can really see the colors. I personally believe he's a platinum tiger. If you don't mind me asking what did you pay for him? Any plans for breeding him?

I wish millertime89 would comment.

[moshirimon]

450. And he's het for albino. Not into breeding myself, but who knows what i'll do once he's ready. Can't wait to see what he looks like at 12-15 foot.

[Sublimeballs]

Oh he's going to be beautiful. The platinum gene is a cool mutation in the retic world there are 3 different supers, like there are 3 albinos: ivory, ultra ivory, and black eyed lucys.

I don't know about around you, but here $450 is a reasonable asking price for a mainland platty tiger het albino.

[moshirimon]

Mother was an 18' platinum tiger and father was a 9' albino goldenchild.

[moshirimon]

And around here 450 is reasonable for just a tiger lol.

[sharthun]

Another gorgeous retic!

[Sublimeballs]

And around here 450 is reasonable for just a tiger lol.

Wow, I've seen tigers for $125 around me, and 75% SD tigers for $500.


Mother was an 18' platinum tiger and father was a 9' albino goldenchild.

Yep, platinum tiger. congrats you got a really good deal on an awesome retic, lucky. Keep us updated on him. He's going to be a really cool adult.

Woah sign me up for those 75% SD tigers! lol

[dave himself]

Mate he is indeed a stunner :)

[Tsubaki]

very nice looking! :D

[moshirimon]

UPDATE: He has become EXTREMELY defensive lol.

[Sublimeballs]

Is it just while in the cage?

[moshirimon]

In and out. Ruled out feeding response since he keeps musking and constantly biting me even while I hold him outside of the enclosure. Wonder whats behind it. His disposition was very good when I brought him home. I then fed him, and held him once after feeding and then he just started acting very afraid.

[moshirimon]

Still I doubt feeding had anything to do with it.

[Sublimeballs]

Yeah sounds like he just doesn't want to be messed with. How long have you had him?

[moshirimon]

About a week

[sharthun]

Sounds a little nervous for sure.

[Sublimeballs]

Don't handle him yet let him settle in for a weeks. He'll be stressed from the move and that isn't coming to help with him attitude. After he's settled in for a while he should have that same clam nature as before. But if he bites don't just put him back or he might associate biting with being out back where he's comfortable.

[moshirimon]

Yup. Thats my plan. Should have done that from the beginning but Large's retics are usually docile fresh out the box lol

[Sublimeballs]

My newest came in with thermal burns and I've had to treat him since day one. He's handled it all very well, he's a good snake. Just give him some time and he should come around.

[millertime89]

Sorry guys, its been a rough few months and have been trying to stay as busy as possible. Yes that's a platty tiger, no question about it.

[moshirimon]

Awesome, Thanks guys!
