I have been talking to Ian Morris owner of Tics and Balls for awhile now about getting one of his baby Super Tigers. Well I finally purchased my male Super Tiger 100% het albino reticulated python. He is beautiful. He definitely won't fill the spot in my heart that Sprite has left, but he will be loved just as much. I hope you guys enjoy. I will try and get more pictures soon. I just wanted him to relax after his long trip. Thanks! :)

Sprite was diagnosed with Bone Cancer. There was nothing we could do to save her. It was kinda a freak thing. All the nerves in her spine were completely gone, so she could no long eat or go to the bathroom. The only thing we could do to help her was to humanly euthanize her. She was such a beautiful and sweet snake, it is really a loss not have her anymore. :(

How long would you say he is right now
From just looking at him for a brief second I would say at least 24inches. He was born May 5th. I could be totally off about the length.

Awesome, my retic was born May 1st, and is the same size as yours. It will be interesting to see the difference in their growth especially since mine has dwarf in him. And I'm sorry to hear that, but this guy will hopefully be a good replacement. I mean he's just so cool looking.

Best of luck with your new animal, keep in mind that retics growth rate may suprise you... for better or for worse. I've got a male thats got 10 months growth rate in him and hes lucky if hes 7 feet even though he eats like a champ. My female is the exact same age and shes easilly 27 lbs and 12 feet, probably closer to 13.

Congratulations Hillary! He's gorgeous and I wish you the best of luck with him! I'm so sorry things didn't work out with Sprite; she was a great snake.

P.S. I've got a female super tiger if you ever want to do a breeding loan. ;)

Amazing. I just wish the tigers wouldn't get so big.

Anyone know why? i didn't think morphs affected size.
