Free Baby Boa - The Guessing Game

[rbaker]

Hello Boaforum Friends! My Ronne Columbian female had her babies last month. The 1st person to give me the day she had them, how many, and the the sex ratio......will get a free male from the litter (guesser only has to pay for shipping). Each person is allowed only one guess and if you do not guess all categories right......you do not win. The game ends August 20th or until someone guesses right before that. No right guessers... no winner. Post your guesses here!

The male you may win is 100% healthy and will have ate numerous times. Also, he is normal in apperance but is possible het for albino and possible het for anery.

The picture is a clue and should help make a educated guess.

Good luck!

Thanks,
Robert

[ChunkyMunky]

You know the chances of winning this game, are lower than the 3 digit lottery number.  I have been playing the lottery for a long time and never hit straight.  So im not even gonna try this lol.

[Simsnow]

[kasper22]

I tied to cheat, by going to your website, and getting the answer, but they weren't there :D So now i'm going to have to play the honest way and guess.

17.14 for a total of 31

[rbaker]

[rbaker]

july 16, 2004

17.14 for a total of 31

Good thinking Kasper! Ok.....someone has guessed the date correct but no one has guessed the baby ratio. Although - someone who posted earlier on in the contest was real close.  Oh what the heck.....each person gets 2 guesses! I want someone to win!

P.S. It is not July 16th either.....

[beastie]

How about 3 attempts? puh-leeze?

:P



if so, consider...

15.12 on july 2?


bc

[tattooed_rose]

i am going to guess july 25, and i will say the ratio is 7.9, for a total of 18 babies.

[ratman]

Okay, I'll try again! 7/30/04 7.16 for 23 total! :'(

[smiley]

the 16th....

12, 8 = 20

[justsnakes]

Hmmm... try number 2

Some one had the correct date. That narrows it down some  :-/ ;D

Was it I who had the correct date? Probably not... but Im gonna use the same date anyway  ;D

My 2nd guess

July 4th
11.19 = 30 kids

[rbaker]

Ok....I will narrow it down. Both the date and the person who is real close to guessing the sex ration are all posted on page 2 of this post. I have a feeling someone is going to guess it real soon.

[Frank]

july 10

14.11=25 babies

[ash]

second chances are good , ,,7-2-04 ,,20@ 12.8

[cahrens]

Ok. My first guess is July 10th. 10.14=24 total.
My 2nd guess is same date 15.8=23 total. Feel free to pull numbers from each of my guesses to make the right ratio. Lol. -Chris

[Unas-TheSlayer]

July 16

10.14

[coldjoe]

My first guess is 14.f & 9.m on 7-19 :'(
and my second guess is 16.f & 12.m on 7-21 :'(

[tattooed_rose]

okay, my second guess is july 16, and 6.11or 17 since my math on the last guess sucked.

[beastie]

[Zoo_Dad]

July 24th, 2004
24 babies and 2 slugs
1st guess on http://www.chinsandgliders.com/forum/html/emoticons/anm.gif to http://www.chinsandgliders.com/forum/html/emoticons/anf.gif is 12:12 or 12.12

2nd guess:

July 24th, 2004
24 babies and 2 slugs
http://www.chinsandgliders.com/forum/html/emoticons/anm.gif to http://www.chinsandgliders.com/forum/html/emoticons/anf.gif is 10:14 or 10.14

[gibsonhtp]

First guess july 30th 10.14

Second guess july 30th 9.15

[rbaker]

Ok....you guys are killing me. I will give you the date.....JULY 19! July 19 she had the babies. You just need to give me the baby ratio. I will give you each 2 more guesses.....go!

[cahrens]

Ok. We'll try this again. 15.10 is my "first" guess. 18.10 is my "2nd". I'd also like to point out the fact that the correct date was never given as stated which is why no-one was guessing right. Hope I'm right this time. :'( -Chris

[Zoo_Dad]

July 19th, 2004 ( Thanks rbaker for the date confirmation...seems coldjoe had that nailed on page 2 as you astutely pointed out earlier.. :'( ) So with that said and your gracious effort to give us all another 2 guesses, I'll stick with my same sex ratios as above added to the corrected date of 7/19/04.

July 19th, 2004
24 babies and 2 slugs
10.14
10 http://www.chinsandgliders.com/forum/html/emoticons/anm.gif and 14 http://www.chinsandgliders.com/forum/html/emoticons/anf.gif

July 19th, 2004
24 babies and 2 slugs
12.12
12 http://www.chinsandgliders.com/forum/html/emoticons/anm.gif
and 12 http://www.chinsandgliders.com/forum/html/emoticons/anf.gif

[ratman]

Okay here are my next two guesses! 16 males and 7 females and 8 males 16 females! Like I really need another boa! LOL That has never stopped me before! :'(

[coldjoe]

July 19th, 11.m & 14.F :'( and the next one is july19th, 11.m & 12.F :'(

[ash]

2 more ,10.12,or 7.10

[Zoo_Dad]

Duh....You gave us another shot at guessing the http://www.chinsandgliders.com/forum/html/emoticons/anm.gif to http://www.chinsandgliders.com/forum/html/emoticons/anf.gif ratio correctly and I post the same one as my original guess. I plead PSD or MLS...Pre-senile dementia or mid-life stupidity!

So, for my 1st & 2nd "second" ratio guesses, I will say 9 http://www.chinsandgliders.com/forum/html/emoticons/anm.gif to 15 http://www.chinsandgliders.com/forum/html/emoticons/anf.gif or 9.15 and 7 http://www.chinsandgliders.com/forum/html/emoticons/anm.gif to 17 http://www.chinsandgliders.com/forum/html/emoticons/anf.gif or 7.17

[beastie]

[cahrens]

July 19th, 2004 ( Thanks rbaker for the date confirmation...seems coldjoe had that nailed on page 2 as you astutely pointed out earlier..
This is true, however, coldjoe guessed the right date AFTER it was stated that the correct date had already been given. Now the correct date of July 19th has been given. That's what I meant when I saidI'd also like to point out the fact that the correct date was never given as stated which is why no-one was guessing right
Just wanted to clarify all that. So has anyone won yet?

[Zoo_Dad]

You're right Chris! I had to re-read the posts carefully to clarify and it seems I may not be the only one here who's possibly suffering from the dreaded PSD or MLS.... ;D Good call! :'(

[justsnakes]

2 more guesses!? Man, you must want to unload this boa ;D

okay guess #3
15.15 = 30 kids (I keep sticking around that number for some reason)

guess #4
14.10 = 24

[gibsonhtp]

ok so JULY 19TH

1st guess 7 male 12 female

2nd guess 13 male 14 female

we all got to be getting close

[ratman]

How could we all be getting close? We are guessing all over the place! :'(

[Simsnow]

Second Guess 12.9
Third 14.8

[rbaker]

No winners yet.....some are very very close. Sorry for the previous screw up that Chris pointed out (thanks Chris).

[Zoo_Dad]

Well, since I've already expended my own 4 guesses to no avail, I'll pass along a little clue for those who may be fortunate enough to guess the to ratio correctly. rbaker has already confirmed the date of July 19th, 2004 and now I will give you the other clue, which he posted here on this board back on July 24th-( hence, my original guess of 7/24/04 previously, with 24 babies and 2 slugs ), as follows:

19 Boa Constrictor Center / Boa Constrictor Pictures / New Litter on: Jul 24th, 2004, 5:28pm
I left the country for over a week and this is what I found when I returned....................

24 babies and 2 slugs. She went 116 POS. All the babies are huge and very healthy.

She was a possible het for albino (Ronne) that proved to be just a normal. I am still extremely happy with the outcome even though I got no yellow babies!

So we know it's 7/19/04 and 24 babies, so now all we need is someone to call the http://www.chinsandgliders.com/forum/html/emoticons/anm.gif to http://www.chinsandgliders.com/forum/html/emoticons/anf.gif ratio correctly! Good luck to whomever hits it! Keep in mind, don't guess 10.14, 12.12, 7.17, 8.16, 14.10 or 9.15....in other words, you have only the following options left to guess: 0.24, 1.23, 2.22, 3.21, 4.20, 5.19, 6.18, 11.13, 13.11, 15.9, 16.8, 17.7, 18.6, 19.5, 20.4, 21.3, 22.2, 23.1, or 24.0

19 possibilities remain for someone to win! Good luck to the lucky guesser!

[rbaker]

Zoo_Dad has done some homework! Good Job! Just for that I believe you (Zoo_Dad) are entitled to (2) more guesses. Also, the contest ends on Aug 20th so get guessing!

[Zoo_Dad]

Thanks rbaker for the additional 2 guesses...here goes!

Let's try 11.13 and 5.19

Either I've won now or I'm narrowing the odds a bit...down to 17 possibilities now! :'( Did I guess well this time? Thanks again rbaker!

Well if you want to give ZOO_Dad a baby you can! YOU WON! The correct answer is July 19th. The ratio was 16 males and 8 females. Congrats SuppleReptiles (with a lot of help from Zoo_Dad)!

Thanks for all that played! You are all great sports. Hopefully we can do this again next year.

Thanks,
Robert Baker

[Zoo_Dad]

Thanks rbaker, Supple Reptiles, and william1 for the kind words! ;D I certainly don't expect anything for my assistance....I was simply helping by sharing my discovered info with the group. Congratulations to Supple Reptiles for guessing correctly! :'( This was a fun contest and my thanks to rbaker and the board for the opportunity to participate! This board has a great group of friendly and knowledgeable folks and I'm pleased to be welcomed into the mix! Note to rbaker....( I've been eyeballing your Salmon females for a while now and if I sell some corn snake hatchlings and sugar glider joeys soon, I may well be in touch! ) :'( Congrats again to Supple Reptiles!
