Good and very plump tiger you got there. No offense but it looks like you have a female not a male. I say this based on looking at the tail in your pics. Males' tails will be much longer and flattened or paddle-like. While females will be shorter and more rounded. Also, females will be much more robust(in the body) than males. In all my yrs I've never seen a tiger so fat, LOL. Not saying its not a healthy tiger but your is by far the plumpest one I have ever seen. Oh, check the cloaca, if its swollen its a male. If not its a girl. :)

hey, thanks for the comment. im 100% sure its a male, cloaca extremly swollen! lol the tail does look different in that pic, it actually is pretty skinny. and yeah he is a big fat boy. he eats lots of crickets and pinkies.

While on the topic, this guy is obese. Just as in humans, obesity causes problems and lowers the expected lifespan significantly. Perhaps cut back on the food and/or brumate him during the winter.

mice are high in fat and should only be fed quite sparingly. this could be the problem.

thanks for the advice. i wasnt giving him pinkies every week or any thing like that but i have cut down.

Does Trent know he has a beautiful creature named after him? I think he would like it, maybe writing a song about cold blooded slimy hybernation...

haha, thanks. both trent reznors are beautiful creatures! i have one and i want the other one =) theres a song called reptile, ill say thats close enough.
