Does anyone even breed these anymore? I was looking for a wild type female because I love how they look. No morphs. No dwarf blood. Just a normal grow to be huge old school retic. Danged near impossible. Lol Anyone else see the normals eventually being the rarest morph?

There’s a few up on the MorphMarket sales side.
I’m sure you can find more elsewhere, like at a reptile show. Most people just want to sell what’s interesting to others. And sadly normal types tend not to be it when it comes to popular species.
I love my normal phase ball python, but I don’t want to breed them because it’s not worth the trouble for my snakes or for me when trying to feed them. lol

I’ve seen normal retics listed in the MM marketplace, and I saw some for sale at a reptile expo I went to earlier this year, so there definitely are people selling them.
But if you can’t find what you’re looking for right now, you could always try contacting some reputable retic breeders and asking them if they have any normals. It’s possible that they’re just not listing them because they assume there isn’t much demand for them.
I love normal retics. If I ever have the space for mainlands, I’d love to have both a normal (ideally one with lots of yellow and white) and a purple albino. Definitely not the most “cutting edge,” but those are the most beautiful morphs to my eyes.
