Hey Charles,
I hate to say it but looking through all of my pics...I can't tell which baby it is. I've produced almost 40 tigers now and I get baby to adult pics mixed up sometimes. If I remember correctly as a baby this one was an orange color with slight red markings...but I held him back because of the orange color. The red that came in was a surprise.

Hey Matt,
No worries I completely understand. I also figured as much about the color that's why I wanted to see a baby pic. I figured it gained all that red which is so freaking cool!!
How are the new ones doing? Did that red tiger turn out to be a red candycane tiger as expected? Would love to see some updates when you get a chance!
Keep up the great work Matt!!!

Sorry for the late reply. That animal did gain a ton of red...just amazing the way these gain color! The new litter is doing great and the candycane animal looks identical to the dam...but as a baby. The dam gained tons of red as she developed but this one has it now. I'll get an updated shot sometime this week.
Looking forward to seeing your upcoming litter!

It truly is amazing how much color they gain, absolutely stunning!!!
That's great news about the litter and I can't wait to see an updated pic of that baby and the rest of the litter!!
Me too!! She has me on the edge of my seat!! LOL..
I expect she'll have something in the next couple of days. Today is 124 days from POS and she has neglected to bask for the last 4 or 5 days. Tonight she came out from her hide and perched for about an hour looking extremely uncomfortable. I could also see that the swelling has moved closer towards her cloaca. She has also darkened up a bit as if she is going into shed. Definitely have my fingers crossed for a healthy litter!!
