Confused: what is a Tiger?

I can't find it on WOBP as a morph, then I thought someone said it was same as enchi? Can someone help? My male I'm waiting on being shipped is an Axanthic Tiger morph..http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...b0df7ea90b.jpg

There is a genetic banded morph called tiger, Then there is the combo of the desert and enchi called a tiger. neither are the same as an enchi.

Pretty animal.

Unless I misunderstood my go-to breeder when I bought my Tiger female...it is a Desert Enchi.

Thank you. He isn't banded (right?) so I think he means desert enchi.

Definitely not desert enchi, I think he means tiger as in the reduces pattern/banded pattern version. You should double check with the breeder on the off chance there is desert in there because of the fertility issues. It wont affect him, but would affect any female offspring he has if you breed him.

i would add a desert male to my collection any day i would get the chance,

i know the females are infertile but the males can stilldo awesome things and the female deserts are realy good looking pets imo.

Yes the plan is to breed him...he, and a just purchased firefly are going to be the main stay of my breeding plans so I just messaged him.

If you look at the AKA on the left side, genetic banded can also be referred to as a tiger.

Tiger Axanthic = Genetic reduced pattern axanthic.

Tiger (genetic reduced pattern) have been around a long time, they were first produced by Michael Joliff.

The other tiger that came later on is a desert enchi combo.

I'm with ya. Deserts make some awesome looking animals. My wife found a Pastel Tiger (m) for my b-day present last month. I would rather not have had the pastel in there, but need to make Metallicas with my Lithium girl.

Yes this little guy is Joliff breeding.

So when I enter him in the male side of the genetic wizard do I put Axanthic first then Tiger? Or just Axanthic? They don't mention the joliff line with the Axanthics, unless I'm missing that too

You can use Axanthic only or Axanthic and Genetic Banded for the male (not that it really matter)

Ok thank you. Just trying to figure out future pairings :)

Jolliff Tigers were around BEFORE the Enchi/Desert combo came about and was also named Tiger.

Yours definitely is not the Enchi/Desert combo.

Also be aware, that if that is also a Jolliff axanthic, it isn't compatible with some other lines of axanthic.

Yes I've been reading about that. I'm looking for a 0.1 het red Axanthic from joliff lines of anyone knows of one. A pastel het red Axanthic would be amazing addition.

Just to clarify, you know that het red axanthic is a codom gene not related in any way to any of the recessive axanthic lines right?

No. I didn't. Is there a book or somewhere that explains all this?

Actually, yes, there is! For your reading pleasure: http://www.newenglandreptile.com/book.html

Aren't all these morphs with identical names but all mean something different fun?

You can also find a great online genetic calculator here:

Your Axanthic Tiger is totally sick by the way.

Thanks ;). Yes I spend too much of my day laying with the genetic calculator LOL
