Sometimes I see babies for sale from reputable breeders that have "Tiger" in the name.
Is it only because the pattern looks like tiger stripes or it has something more?
Would you say that this baby (from one of my Orange German Giant clutch) could be labelled "Tiger" according to some breeders?

I don't give so much attention to names, but I was curious!

Thanks a lot!

If that was my baby.... Yes I would classify it with "Tiger" stripes or markings DEFINETLY (gorgeous baby by the way!). Most TIGER BLOODLINES have been established by generations of perfecting side bars that are immaculatly symmetrical on both sides. I would HOLDBACK that baby... Find a non-related "tiger striped" beardie to pair it with and you will be on your way to Tiger Offspring.

With Tigers, some come out with thin perfect lines that actually go from SIDE SPIKE to SIDE SPIKE and across the spine as well! Those are you Patternless Big-Bangers! I dont specialize in Tigers but I have some myself.

Calfornia Citrus Dragons has nice citrus Tigers
Dachiu.com has nice Leatherback Tigers
