Re: Retic? NO!

I may be mistaken as I'm really not into mainlands or morphs at all, but I've been led to believe that anything with tiger in it will get reasonably large.... Just something I've heard so don't know how reliable that is.

Stunning looking snake tho mate, I'm sure that'll be even more of beauty as it grows! ����

The parents are, 75% SD Tiger x 50% SD Sunfire, so both sets of gene's are proven SD, so even if he got to 7 - 8ft that would be fine with me.

Depends what locality of SD was used tho tbh mate... like my one is 50% "Madu" locality SD..so for me a pure madu male will get 6-9ft... add in 25% jampea and 25% mainland means I could be looking at anywhere from 9-13 ft.

Hopefully they used kalatoa or one of the smaller SD localities for yours. I wish I had waited for a pure Madu personally, but wouldn't change Floki now that I've got him!.

I have noticed how much the mainland blood has influenced his temperament compared to pure SD's tho, much calmer...
