They seem to be a bit more active than Tigs from my personal experience, People call Juruense "Poor Mans Tigrinus" based upon the difference in price and markings. But don't get me wrong, Juruense are great cats.,
here's a pic of my tig. he likes to lay on top of the branches like a monkey. LOL
wow that must be a reall big gar your friend purchased. =(
Cute Tig, just a little baby?
