Busy!! Why? Look!!

[Simon]

Well lately I have been really really really really busy~
Why?
Well first of all I have tons of 'rushes' with my clothing manufacturing since everyone is trying to get their stuff ready for Winter. So its all rush rush rush.....so that has been keeping me busy...
but other than that I also have a day time job which takes a lot of my time during the mornings.....

THEN there are these!!

http://www.extremesnakes.com/images/Photos/Corns/Mix-07.JPG

Now some of you might think that I am cruel putting all those corns together...but this is just for the photo....I really wanted to take some of those hatchlings together....so it was only for the photo and it took me a long time getting them all in there....now the stupid part is sorting them back out~!! LOL!!

Take a guess how many corns are in the photos...
anyone who get it right I'll give them a pair of whatever they want in the photo.

Try guessing the number of 'morphs' in here too...
no prize for this but its worth a shot~ LOL!!!

Just for all your information, they are now separated again~ so no nearly as crowed as they are in the photo~

I'll review the answer in a couple of days on the number of corns in these photos...and I'll also give a rough update on how many corns I have produced this year (even though some still haven't hatched yet)

Oh...one more piece of information..
I have been so busy because everyone of them in this picture has eaten!!!! So maybe you can imagine why I have been so busy....LOL!!!:D :D :w

Julie,

Make it a wall paper if you want.
It did take me some time to take those photos so I am really proud of them~

Simon

[Oliverian]

172. :D Very, very cool!! Would be awesome to win a pair.. or buy a pair. Or just a male dammit, I'm stuck with 4 females! :P

-TammyR

[Derrick]

Those are awesome pictures.

I'm going to make my guess later. But I have a request Simon. Do you have these pictures in a higher resolution. The reason I ask is I'll like to have a jigsaw from one of them for a friend and a couple for my daughters school. If you don't mind PMing me that would be great. I'ld be quite willing to include a logo with your website url in on corner.

[Dani33]

96 snakes and 6 morphs! Awesome pics!!!!

[Bartman]

id say 121

[Ryan and Katie]

That is a crazy picture!!

Just for fun - 197?

[Siretsap]

I would say 101 corns. I counted 68 heads and there must be at least 30 more babies hidden under the others. So a minimum of 98 and I always add 3 to the number I guess for those things. So 101.

[exotic_66]

106 is my guess :D

~nessy~

[ChokeOnSmoke]

very impressive
74 is my guess

[Darren179]

Derrick,

Shoot me an email or give me a pm.
We can get things done better there.

Let me know how 'big' you want the photos.
Cause I think that my camera can only be set to 2272 x 1704 at the largest.

I actually usually take those pictures in that pixel first and then just downsize it with photoshop to abouut 500 x 485 pixel~

So basically the photo is suppose to be 4 times larger.

If you want it to be the 2272 x 1704, I can take those pictures again, but it'll have to be later in the week (around Thursday or Friday) cause I have resized all of them to 500 x 485 right now...LOL!!

Let me know what you would like in the email alright?

There were a couple that were really close but still no winner yet~!!

Man this thread has been gonig faster than I expect it would be~

Once again thanks for all those particpants!

[LISA127]

My guess is 210 corns. :)

[Invictus]

Simon, how about setting a "cutoff date" and award it to the person who was closest without going over. :)

[Simon]

Sure I was about to do that.
I wasn't really expecting as much people responding but since there are I'll just have the cut off date for Wednesday night at 11:59pm.

If no one gets it right, I'll let the person that is 5 above or below be the winner. Of course the closer you are, that would be the winner.

So if there were 10 corns there and no one guessed 10, but someone guessed 11-15 or 5-9, then that person would be the winner. If there were two people in the same 'range' then I'll split the prize. Each will get one and depends on what the person want, can choose either a male or female of anything in that batch.

Sounds good all?

[Fishandsnakelov]

I'm guessing 500.

If I'm a winner. I want the red and white one.

[enso]

202
Nice pictures and congrats on all the clutches.
You have a few too many serpents. :)

[Stockwell]

Hey, this is pretty shrewd marketing Simon. I applaude that!
Post a fabulous mega-stock pic, then get everyone to guess the number to win a couple, thus showcasing your wares while creating an advertising game that keeps the post on the top for days.. brilliant LOL
Now if we can only get Don to do that with Black Heads or Womas...
Simon, I think I would like to guess the number that are actually loose in your apartment.
I think conservatively it's 7 and that is just the ones you don't know about. LOL

Have you ever thought of sewing them into those garments you're making in China? Maybe you could start a new "Medusa" shirt craze :)
I also think they'd sell alot of sushi! LOL
(just kidding of course)

Congrats in being the Corn King of Canada!
Great animals and Great photos, not to mention Great patience.

And Vanan....I enjoyed that .. LOL Try to keep her from injesting anything new she might get this year.

[jparker1167]

Simon will you ship to the U.S

LOL~
Well to be honest, my first intension wasn't really for advertising or anything like that. I just thought that it would be a nice little game since I got way too stressed with the amout of work that I had during the past few months. Man getting all of those little ones to eat are not nearly fun...it's a heck lot of work and I am glad that I had 2000 plus pinkies in my freezer when I needed it~ But since after I have posted this thread, there were tons of people responding and I was really surprised and really happy~ plus you're right...keeping this tread alive is awesome!

Now for your 7 loose snake.....well.......at least I know that there is one loose right now..cause when I was trying to put all of them back one of them got loose....well actually to be more accurate, I put them all back save and sound...but when I was trying to add water to one of them, it shot out and disapeared.....so I have at least one loose....

LOL!!!!
Actually snake soup in my opinion isn't that bad. Maybe its because that I am Chinese....
I guess I can pretty much eat anything....as long as it doesn't carry any bad bateria/parasites....LOL!!!
But to be making the corns are soup...we'll be need a lot more than all those that are in the photo~~ LOL!!!

Corn King of Canada....well, I guess its just something that you guys give me. What I really do is feed them....I don't really do anything. Feed, clean, and then put them together when the breeding time comes....nothing too hard...
I would give more credit ot my babies~ (the corns) They are great animals. But I would take the credit with the patience....LOL! Man...the wait really kills....but once it starts, it's crazy madness....so yeah I would admit and take the credit of the great patience~~

LOL!!!

jparker,

Yes I can ship to the US. So anyone in North America can participate if they want~~

[Jeff_Favelle]

Holy moly that's a LOT of corns!!!!! How come some of those albino are red, and others are orange? That's really cool.

[ForgottenRealms]

[lostwithin]

HA , I ran into this post and made my guess the read through and somebody stole my number right at the end, so I’m going too go with 137 and hope for the best.

Edit: right as I hit reply I realized 137 is also taken, what numbers are left. 138 is also taken, Maybe 139?? I don’t think any body has that one yet, so lets say 139 snakes with at least 7 morphs ,
Devon

[lostwithin]

Hmmmm , I was so eager too get a guess in on time that I forgot too mention how amazing that pic is,


also the top of my last post reads,

"08-18-04 01:10 AM
Last edited by lostwithin on 08-18-04 at 01:20 AM "

But my clock still reads 12:54 right now (that’s here in NB)
, so maybe I missed for a guess, what time zone are you going by ?? I'm quite interested too know how many are in there even if I missed the deadline.
Devon

[Nicky]

87 maybe? awsome snakes btw
Kayla

[lostwithin]

Ha Ha , now I feel stupid, I just came back online this morning too see how many snakes were in there and realized that today is only Wednesday. (I’m also one of those lucky guys getting no sleep at all) Between a small business I just opened and my reptiles I get next too no sleep. And, as you see above , half the time I don’t even know what day it is, sorry for the confusion.

Devon

[mathaldo]

142?

[lisa marie]

I wanted to say....I had to re-register since I lost my password and can't seem to retrieve it through my e-mail. My original username was LISA127, and I submitted a guess already under that name of 210 baby cornsnakes. :)

[crazyboy]

[nickykci]

[Simon]

Well this 'game' is going to close within 2 hours from now. (It's around 10:20pm) right now so basically within 1h39m the 'guessing game' is going to close.

If you still want to join, better hurry~

[Scales Zoo]

I've been waiting till tonight to guess, but now I realize that someone may have already guessed the right number.

So, my guess is 170 cornsnakes.

Ryan

[capsicum]

Ok if it hasn't closed yet, my guess is 232 corns, and who knows how many morphs :p

TK

[wolverine]

I guess 185 corns

[Minnow]

Hi,
Wow, they look awesome! My guess is 134
Pick me! Pick me! LOL
Carol

[Retic chic]

169 cornsnakes

Sheila

[Simon]

About 15 min before closing time~

wow..
I'll have to go through all those posts and write all of them down to see who wins.

I don't know if there are any winners yet but I'll contact the person that won~!!

Thanks for everyone who took part in this little game. I am very glad that people had fun with those pictures~!!

Thanks again everyone!!

[lostwithin]

Does this mean you won't be posting th answer ?? OR will you after you've contacted the winners. ??

Devon

[Simon]

Oh I'll be posting the answer
and then I'll be contacting the winner privately~
better than posting here and asking what the winner wants from that picture right? LOL!!

[Simon]

Time's up~

Well there were actually 224 corn snakes in that photo
Morph wise there were
Normals
Snows
Amel
Anery
Ghost
Okeetees
Hypos
Miamis

So technically there are 8 morphs here (if you included okeetee and maimi as a morph)

Wow....
and guess what?
Out of all these posts....
no one was near the 5 +/- mark.....
The closest was Tim, he said 230......and the cut off mark was 229 (cause 224+5 = 229)......

Hum....
what do you all think that I should do?

I think that I should give Tim as being the winner. But instead of him getting to pick the snake that he wants I would give him a pair of normal.
How does that sound to all of you and Tim himself?
Sounds fair to me~ at least we have a winner....LOL!!

[lostwithin]

wow I cant believe nobody got it. Oh well, still good publicity and lots of fun, not too mention some amazing pics.
Thanks,
Devon

[lisa marie]

I was pretty close. :)

[redcorn]

I guess 189

[Yness]

wow....Congrats Tim, I say give the win to the person who got it closest...

I'll definitely give my best shot and find you a 'normal het ghost' but I can't promise anything....cause I'll have to go through all my records and then find the right pair~

Give me some time....LOL!!
