Brindle. Not tiger or orange imo. Orange is brighter and tiger markings are more straight.

As for the Wavy tail, defo cannot breed her.



Orange Dal and tiger^ so you can see markings and colour.

Yours is brindle as lines are more sporadic on side.

A yellow phantom - As for the tail, it could just be dehydration. Spray down her enclosure well, and make sure she as plenty to drink, If it persists after a few days (i would maybe give it a week or two since she’s new and might be less inclined to drink at first) then i agree she’s not fit for breeding (:

She’s 100% brindle.
Take a look at LMR foundation guide too.
Brindle, tiger, reverse pin, freckling is all to do with tiger. :grin:

Brindle is a trait I love, I have a tiger, the more sporadic or ‘reticulated’ as Anthony calls it is amazing though.

And wavy tail like that imo I have never seen from dehydration and I’ve rescued some awful cresties.

My phone shows it as a bright orange, but could just be my phone so probably not orange then.

I would’ve said tiger as my brindle is far more sporadic. But I’m still re reading lmr as it changed since I last read it. So brindle it is.

I’ve never heard of wonky tail from dehydration either :woman_shrugging: only as a defect or from bullying

On mine it’s a ‘normal’ colour. Beige like haha

Yeah it’s all to do with tiger to be fair!
My tigers a lot more straight markings, but they vary so much :relaxed:

Makes them all unique :black_heart:

I mean based on the guide, whether it’s a brindle or a tiger has to do with how much pinstriping is dominating - the less pinstriping the more straight or “tigery” it’ll be, with the best tigers having no pinning at all. Agree that this one is more brindle, definitely a phantom though :blush:

I have the exact opposite experience with the tails, ive only seen wavy tails like this from dehydration, if it’s from bullying or a birth defect the ones ive seen only had a few sporadic kinks :sweat_smile: But it’s really easy to check cause if it’s dehydration it’ll go away, kinks from injury/birth won’t​:blush:

She started drinking and eating as soon as i got her in an enclosure and eating crickets and pangea. I think she was under cared for. But ill see how her tail looks vy next week thanks for all the help
