i always thought that IT get bigger than ST and some of the info on tigers is wrong stating that ST get bigger than IT
i have seen many IT above 18 inch yet some websites state they only get to 16 inch
all tigers seam to grow fastish up to 7-8 inch then slow down a bit up to 12-14 inch at which time it seams to take long for them to grow to 18 inch +
BUT i have notice big growth with tigers fed on pellets so i would say the reason for such slow growth is because they are not getting the things they need in other foods apart from pellets
