4. aproxement lenght and weight of a full grown dwarf tiger.
5.whos a good breeder to buy from, right now it is constrictors unlimited or bob clark
my email is mpwrestler@cox.net

I think that with the limited number of breeders producing dwarf tigers that you'll have to pay what their asking. But to get a top quality, healthy, tame and still somewhat rare python, it should be worth every penny. If it is out of your range, wait a year, it will be about half.

Provide the same caging you would for any large python. Dwarf tigers will still get very large,.. just not quite as large as a normal. I can't speak of temperments or overall exact size and weight as I don't have any of these yet. But from what I have heard I think they should still get into the 13 to 15 foot range and that would imply 60 to 100 pounds or so. (I welcome any corrections from someone who actually owns them) I would assume that their temperments would be similarly as docile as the other phases that I do have.

I have dealt with Bob Clark on a very large scale (no pun intended, ha ha), and I have also recently done business with Mike Wilbanks (constrictors unlimited). Both are good guys to deal with and come highly reccomended by me. (Mike even offered to pay the shipping for me on a 12 foot retic,.. that was very cool. Bob always picked up shipping for me too, which was incredible as I have annoyed him with numerous small orders over the last year and a half)

Hey Brian,
Thanks for the compliments. I appreciate the nice things that you had to say in this post and it has been a pleasure doing business with you. I would like to dispute one of your assertions though. I am not sure why you say that the price of Dwarf Tigers will be less next year. It is true that as things become more common, prices will come down. In the case of the Dwarf Tigers, the demand has grown far more quickly than the supply has been able to satisfy. They have not been produced since 2000, when they were sold for $500. This year, the whole clutch that was produced, with the exception of a holdback female, was sold for $750ea. That's a 50% increase. There is nothing to support the idea that they will be less next year. The supply is just too limited. I predict that the Dwarf Tigers will be at least the same price next year and will remain a solid investment because of their tremendous popularity. Also, there is no guarantee that they will even be produced next year. After all, this is the first time that they have been produced in 2 years.

Mike

I always welcome being corrected when I am dead wrong. And I really don't know a lot about the dwarf tiger market (i thought I implied that, but maybe not) and I should have probably said "might be much less" instead of "will be half". By the way, I was basing this on the usual trend with very pricey morphs, as I'm sure you are aware. I had NO idea that they were THIS scarce. I knew they were scarce, but not to this extent. But hey, at least I also said they were a "rare python" and "worth every penny". That's gotta be worth something, lol.

By the way,. how did I do on guessing their size and temperment?

And thanks to you too for your return compliment. Yes, business with you, as with Bob, goes very smoothly. I'm just glad you had the patience to tolerate my many neurotic questions Thanks Mike.
