Tiger, no tiger, tiger, no tiger, tiger!

When this guy was born a few years ago, straight away I looked at him and said that's a cool tiger. He had a faint tiger stripe and was from a male tiger x Lemon Drop, a solid yellow candycane. at about 2 or 3 months old I remember saying that the stripe was too difficult to see to cal him a tiger so I went with solid yellow. I have been back and forth with this one because sometimes the striping is more visible than others and after his last shed a few days ago...it was really visible.

This means that there has been a tiger x tiger breeding and the babies were both tigers and non tigers. That would make the trait dominant I believe with no super form yet. Maybe one of the tiger offspring when bred to a normal will make all tigers?

Anyway...here he is as of this morning...a yellow tiger with yellow striping.
