What happened did everyone up and sell off all their retics? This section has been dead for weeks. I'm used to not seeing much action with burms, rocks, and scrubbies, but dang.

not sure, maybe it will pick back up once the lawsuit is fully resolved? I don't keep retics but I'd be interested in doing so sometime in the distant future.

I remember hearing a rumor of people culling their boa constrictors with the chance of them being added to the Lacey Act, so maybe something similar happened with the retics?

If it's Lacey Act related we may see things pick up again when it's resolved as pet_snake said. But that could take a few years unless we get lucky. :/

I think it's because of the holidays mate, most people are busy with family and friends so handling time and taking pics drop off for most people. It will probably pick up again soon ;)

This is true. But it seems like in the last few months even, things have been slow. I'm hoping that some of the new laws haven't discouraged people.

Havoc Vulture, have you seen the Satyricon - Live at the Opera show yet? You can see it on Youtube if not. It's well done. Sadly, they don't play any old classic songs, just newer stuff, but still good song choices.

Still have all my tics and plan on getting more this year. I'm definitely a part of the problem in this instance. I've been checking in occasionally but it's been hard to make time with my new son. Ill try and get some pics up soon. The bali female is already 8+ feet. How's the hypo doing?

Thanks EZ. It really is a whole new world. Little guys is growing like a retic, and has already been out herping 25-30 times. Not bad for a nearly 5 month old.

I have seen part of it. I do believe they perform mother north but that's it on the classics. Not that anything else is needed, mother north is a masterpiece :bouncy:

You're right on Mother North, I forgot they played that one. It is THE black metal anthem, but I love their old stuff from Dark Medieval Times, Shadowthrone and Nemesis. But Rebel Extravaganza is a style all on it's own, it was unique to what everyone else was doing back then; I love it.

Yes it is the anthem lol. Rebel Extravaganza is anot interesting album. I like it and I think it still falls in their classics. Volcano is very good but that's when you start to see the different route in music they took. I think their route is different but I like their new stuff as apposed to 1349 who took a different route and I feel like it wasn't as good as their old stuff

I agree on 1349, I like their older stuff a lot more, I've seen them live several times too, and they are a bit boring, but I still go lol, I've seen Satyricon twice live too; gotta see the Norwegian bands when you can. Taake is coming here next month, I can't wait to see them, it will be my first time.

Yeah I just wish they would bring frost :pissedoff:
I'm hitting a Cradel of Filth show this month, next month is Nile. I'm waiting for Obscura to tour with their new album. Last month I went to see Beyond Creation and Hate Eternal, that was a good show. Super small venue though

That he is. Don't have an exact weight on him at the moment but he's as big as his 11 month old cousin; 85th percentile. He's got 2 teeth already and days away from sitting up completley without falling. I feel cheated. He's growing too fast.

Thanks man. Being a dad is really the best thing in the world. He's already fascinated with reptiles and amphibians, aswell as being in the field. It's awesome.

I need to get some pics to post up soon but here's a pic(albeit crappy) of my selayar female.

They do grow to quick mate, you enjoy him all you can. I blinked and my two boys seem to grow into young men before I knew what was going on :(

That's good. Get them started early. If nothing else it gives them an appreciation for the outdoors.

And as soon as your selayar and Bali's have babies I've got first dibs lol. But no seriously, I do.

Considering it's illegal to own a retic where I am, unless you had one before the laws changed and have a permit... You wont see any retics from me :(
As much as I'd love one

Get involved and keep fighting. Especially as far north as you are. There really is no good reason that you can't own one in Canada.

I saw 1349 with Frost one time, it was great, Frost's kit was set up right at the front of the stage. I'm going to see Nile in a couple of weeks. I saw the Mayhem and Watain tour last year when it was here, that was a killer show!

The rules won't change without continual battle and even then we must battle the keep them legal. The biggest threat to our pursuit of happiness is unfortunately the governments they force us to support with taxes.
