Tiger retics are one of the most popular forms of these giant constrictors, and helped to establish the reticulated python's place in herpetoculture today.  These snakes are as beautiful as they are variable, and pattern may range from consistent dorsal diamonds with thick black margins to partially-striped animals with reduced lateral pattern.  Some have granite flecking throughout the pattern, some are extreme yellow, bright burnished gold, or burnt orange with tan undertones.  The Tiger is the heterozygous form of the Super Tiger trait.  When bred to a normal, a Tiger will produce Tigers & normals.  Bred to another Tiger, the resulting offspring will be a mix of Tigers, Super Tigers & normals.  This striking mutation is a must-have for retic combos, and has made exquisite designer morphs when added to Albinos, Platinums and the Golden Child trait.
