Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Normal Retic
Why is it so difficult to find a normal retic? I looked through a few pages of ads and not 1 normal. I am new to retics and before paying a few hundred on some of these morphs, i would rather start handling a normal.

Bob Clark still sells normal retics. They're on his website. But a simple co-dom such as a tiger is usually less than a hundred dollars difference. It might be worthwhile to invest just a little bit more in some low-level morphs so that you have an animal that is still relevant to your collection in ten years. And, a morph will be easier to find a new home for if you experiment with retics and decide they are not for you.

Most people that produce morphs probably have normals (and/or hets) available, they may just not advertise them. Might be worth asking some of the breeders you are thinking about buying from if they have any.
Good luck!

Yeah, i have found normals for sale on some breeders sites, but very little advertising for them. Im not very fond of the tiger morph myself, as well as alot of the morphs. The normals are just so nice and simple.

I too prefer the normals. Retics have one of the largest ranges of any snake species, and there are many beautiful natural variations. It would be very cool to see more interest on breeding locality animals, like has been done with boa constrictors.

If you look on The Retic Nation Facebook group you can find people working with retic localities.
For the OP - try going to the Hamburg expo and ask the vendors with retics if they have any normal critters. They may not have them at the show but would be close enough for you to pick one up later. Since you're new to them it would also be good to have someone close by to act as a mentor if you need it.

I cant make the hamburg show this month, but im going to the east coast reptile super expo in Oaks this saturday. I am hoping to find some local retic keepers, and maybe even a cheap normal with a het.

If you are willing to wait for normals, absolutely get in touch with a favorite breeder of yours, and when baby season comes they will probably have normals and hets. I am sure NERD may produce some normals/hets. They have normals up on their website, but are currently out of stock. If you call Kevin, you can call and see when they would be in stock again.

Also, a more controversial place to buy, LLLReptile, has fast moving stock. The only problem is, they carry CB and WC so just be cautious if you choose to go down that route.

I wish you the best of luck!
