:cry: :cry:Unfortunately the snake did not survive his injuries or the surgery ....However, some pics of him to show off his markings.

PS. (apologies for the quality but hope you can appreciate them anyway)
a. At the initial bite, I had a stinging sensation throughout my whole finger. That is what alerted me to the fact that I had in fact been "done" and was not a warning strike which most tigers give.
I think thats a common misconception with tigers. When they feel like biting you they dont go into strike mode, they just casually lean across and bite you.
Gutted that tiger didnt make it. Stoked that you are ok though. Thanks for the break down of how it played out.
It makes me wonder if you would have been bitten had it not been injured?
Did he make a noise before he got you? Apparently they make some weird noise right before biting you..
You're heaps lucky..ive heard tiger bites can be really nasty
Shame he didnt make it..
Hi Sel,
No noise what so ever.....but as listed in the "accounts' post of the envenomation, the snake slipped in my head grip.....However, YES, I have heard them "bark" as a warning as well as an audible "hiss/sigh" sound.
