This place is freaking dead

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.

Re: This place is freaking dead

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.

Re: This place is freaking dead

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. :/

Re: This place is freaking dead

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.

Re: This place is freaking dead

I still have my retic, just been feeling a bit lazy with pictures. Not to mention he's insane and doesn't like to come out and play

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.

Re: This place is freaking dead

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

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
