New "For Fun" Game! FIND THE NORMAL!

I'm going with six.

I really WAG #1...but not nearly enough experience. Pete

#16. It resembles my normal bp.

Looks more like a het red. :P Look at the alien heads. ;)

I'd say YB for #16 as well.......or it could just be a cool normal;)

It's a toss up between 4 and 17. I chose 17 because 4 has A LOT of white coming up the side......hmmmm.....

All that white is why I didn't go with 4. But hey, the only one to have no votes at all is #20, so it's probably that one, LOL! :P

I guessed 18 :confuzd:

Shoot...:taz:

Funny how 4 is so popular, I happen to think it's an adult Snake Keeper axanthic. I dunno though, but when is it going to be revealed? ~Caylan.S.~

I have a theory that #17 is a browned-out pastel, due to the yellow on its sides. Not sure though...


Anybody got any pictures of an adult axanthic?

Numbah Three was my vote. :)

Just popping in real quick. Thought folks might like to know the answer to the puzzle.... :P

First...here's a list of the morphs pictured here. The list is in alphabetical order...the snakes pictured are in a random order. And some morphs are repeated. See if you can figure out which is which. :D

axanthic, black-pastel, cinnamon, enchi, granite, het-red-axanthic, hypo, lace-black-back, mystic, sable, spotnose, sugar, sulfer, and yellowbelly.

Oh....and one normal. :twisted:

Which one???






:whisper: Number 17.

Number 17 is my CH normal - Reese!

Woohoo! I got it!!! In yo face all of you that picked #4 (LOL, jk). ;) Robin you definitely live by your quote, even for the normals!

I knew i was going to be wrong!! Hey at least there wasn't a really cool prize at stake for the winner. Then id really be disappointed lol! By the way.. What WAS #1??

DARN. Theres alot of blushing there on that normal. Thats what really threw me off on that one. That, and the yellowish color to it. Could we get a 1-22 list of what they all are?

Ok, now can someone explain to me how you can tell that #4 is an axanthic and not a washed-out photograph?

Do axanthics have markers other than color?

Not really, I just knew. I have seen them before, and I thought it was obvious. I still don't know if it is an axanthic but that's what it looks like to me. Snake Keeper line axanthic's brown out to almost a normal colour, but there is a different hue? I dunno I guess you just have to see them to know. ~Caylan.S.~

PS- I chose #15 I think, so bummer for me, but man that's a nice normal! ~Catlan.S.~

Besides the color, it has an awful lot of white coming up the sides, much more than a normal would.

Axanthic means lacking yellow pigment. I don't know about you, but I can deffinately tell there is no yellow in that snake.

Not all SK axanthics look "normal" as adults. It depends what you breed them to. Also, there is some kind of sneeky hidden gene in there that makes Charcoal axanthics which look kind of like nice black bloods color-wise. What was number six?

That is right however in general, snake keeper axthanics brown out really well. I actually think it's a very pretty brown, not normal at all, but it is really subtle as an adult. I'm not sure, but I think that the VPI black axanthic is not even compatable with the snake keeper axanthic, I could be wrong though. Number 6 was an enchi I believe, if this noob know's his stuff. However I am not a noob really, just in posts on this forum. Hope this helps, ~Caylan.S.~

Not so fast there Rabby. Reese is not a "normal" until you breed him and prove him out to be a "normal".

id say either 18 or 22...

Well she probably has bred him, or else he wouldn't be in this contest, would he :cool:

This is cool.. and very hard. I picked 8.:D
It kinda looks like mine.. Guess:D

SHE has not been bred yet, and she was acquired as a CH normal. I don't assume or represent my CH normals as anything other than that, until they give me reason to believe that they are.

With that said, BG - do you say that because you happen to see anything special about her? If so - it will be fun to breed her to find out. :)

This was a tough one! Several of them look like normals to me...though I suppose they could be hets?! ;)

Yay I got it! :banana:

I think it is either 4 or 15 :D (I am a newbie to snakes so this is just a glancing guess)

Big Gunns has seen animals with a lot less color than Reese prove out to be something. At the very least it looks like it will give nice looking babies. Good luck.

ok. so now post with the correct morph for the rest!!!

Did I miss it? What morph is number 3 (striped back)?

Yay! I got it! :D But this was really fun!

I believe it's a black pastel.

...might be time to close this poll mods as it keeps getting bumped even tho the answer has been revealed?

Like the "Find the Morph" game, it's meant to stay open for new folks to find and play. They can find the answer in the thread, sure...but lots of folks will read the first post and puzzle through the pics and enjoy making their guess...then read the thread and find out if they were right. ;)

Can we start a new game? I agree that we shouldn't close this thread, but I got a little excited when I saw a "new" find the morph.

Just my 2 cents

We could certainly make a new game to run. They take time to put together, but I enjoy doing it. We've already done a "find the morph" with a list of normals and a somewhat subtle morph. And we've done this one with a bunch of subtle morphs and one nice normal...

What should we do next? :D

Lets play spot the HET!!!!!!

Holy moly could you imagine how hard that would would be? I think it would be fun, but maybe do only 10 snakes to keep it "simple"

I would enjoy doing a spot the het but I don't know how well that would go over, what do you guys think?

I think it would really help folks learn how to spot markers.

I dunno...that sounds like laying ten playing cards face-down on the table and then having folks guess which one is the Ace. There's no skill or even pretending that skill is involved in the choice.

But maybe we could do a small series of "Find the ____" games. Fill in the blank with "yellow belly," "fire," "vanilla"...or something like that? Then the pool of pics could be a mix of morphs and normals, but only one of each of those three.

Thoughts?

Markers can mean something or nothing at all. You could put up 9 normals with 'markers' and one het without and you still wouldn't know.

That wouldn't really be a game, you'd be blindly guessing.
