need a little help here
we just purchased a new addition to our family. she is a tiger retic at the least. she looks more like a super tiger but we will let you be the judge of it. so please tell me what you think is she a super tiger or a tiger. and she has two different colored eyes one is grey and the other is the normal red. and we should add that the grey eye is smaller than the red one. we were wondering if it was something we should worry about. thank you.

Re: need a little help here
looks like a normal tiger to me. you don't really need to worry about the eye. I had one that was like that too and he did just fine.

Re: need a little help here
looks like a normal tiger, but the best way to be sure his check his vent...if he's a super, from his vent to his tail there will be a line. gorgeous regardless! you know these guys get huge, right? ;D

Re: need a little help here
Normal tiger - ignore the eye as it should not bother her. Welcome to the obsession that is retics :-)

Yup. You know the saying?

I have to agree, with most snakes the "length of the snake should be no longer than the length plus width of the enclosure" rule works fine but when you get a big snake it seems to go out of the wimdow somehow??
I would love to see them in an enclosure like waynes for his savs, with more climbing branches etc to see how much they actually would use the space.
