Is he pure mainland? Or does he have some Jamp mixed in? If he has Jamp mixed in, it would be sweet to see some offspring from him bred to a Super Dwarf. I like the down sized retics, I'm waiting for someone to produce the Super Dwarf Platinum Tigers.

nope he is 100% pure mainland! his mother was Twiggy..Jim Gaspars giant female tiger..that was over 21ft and 200lbs..so he has some BIG genetics thats for sure!

Did Jim pass away?? I bought one of Twiggy's girls from him two years ago.

I just scanned down and saw the terrible news about JIm. What a shock! He was a great guy. The baby girl I got from him two years ago is now a little monster. Maybe I'll post some pics in Jim's memory as well.

Nice pick up, I took some pictures of that little guy at Jim's house with Jason a few weeks ago. Here are the pictures of him if you want them just copy them and save them for yourself. It's nice of you to honor Jim in that way. There are more pictures of Jim & Jason's retics on my website to.

Just so everyone can see what he has for genetics here is his mother Twiggy.

I believe this is his father to.

Take care
Tom
