Thanks for looking

The 2nd picture really shows the boldness of the colors between the white and the darker pattern. What kind of snake is it exactly?

[stephanbakir]

That tiger is coming along nicely! Great colours and I love the white stripe under his neck.

It's a tiger morph of a reticulated python.

[NennaMeerkat]

Thank you My only guess was a yellow anaconda and I knew that couldn't be it...

[stephanbakir]

If you're interested you can get a tiger or a super tiger for pretty cheap in Super Dwarf. Max 9-10 feet female and 6-8 feet male.

[derekcm87]

She is actually a 50% Jampea Dwarf tiger retic. Thanks for the kind words
Definately not a yellow anaconda

[stephanbakir]

Thats a bit big for a 50% lol, looks like a young one too, hasn't started girthing up yet. How old?
Its about 9-11 feet right?

WAY to big for my house with different small animals around. Maybe if I didn't have other pets I would consider it. But they are gorgeous to be sure.

I would say shes about 8-10 feet. a little over two years old. And I wouldnt say big for a 50% Jamp 50% mainland. Ive seen a 100% Jamp that is 17+ feet in person. I expect her on a moderate feeding schedule to get about 12-14 feet? Basing that off of the fact that a jamp female will get about 10 feet and she does have some mainland blood in her.

[stephanbakir]

based on her current size that might be a little low, she has barely started bulking up. Great looking animal though
Do you know what the other 50% is? Friend got his hands on a 50/50 jamp and the other half happened to be sula lol.

[derekcm87]

Her mother was a jamp and father was a platinum tiger.

[stephanbakir]

Nice you def got a stunner

[derekcm87]

Retics technically should not be bulky animals. You see alot of thick retics in captivity because people are obsessed with growing their snakes and making them obese so people get the idea that retics should look like alot of them you see pictures of in captivity and thats not true. She is fed a 3-5 lb food item every two weeks and is all muscle not an ounce of fat on her and surely not underfed.

Thank you!

[stephanbakir]

Not saying shes underfed, and I hate seeing fat animals. But as they get older they generally become 1.5 times as thick as yours, all lean muscle.
