Without giving away the answer, was anyone right?

*makes metal note to check back tomorrow*
BTW, when you list the answers will you give hints on what to look for when distinguishing pure corns from hybrids? I know there have been a few such as color, head shape, pattern, and maybe eye posistion, but it seems awful difficult to notice the differences unless they are side by side I think...
ANYwho, thatnks for giving us an opportunity to participate!

Well....
Since your 2006 breeding plans did not show any hybrids (besides the speckled king cross...and these are not those) my educated guess without analyzing the pictures would be that they are the following:
1:Corn
2:Corn
3:Corn
4:Corn
5:Corn
6:Corn
7:Corn
8:Corn
9:Corn
10:Corn
11:Corn
12:Corn
Then again...maybe your are hiding something? Maybe they are not yours? Maybe you are ashamed to work with hybrids so you don't put them on your list? :shrugs: Or...maybe I'm just plain wrong! :crazy02:

There all hybrids. 
Well, unless there just bug-eyed and round headed corns.

end it at 9 pm, i want to know!!!!
Well for those of you who missed, don't feel bad. The only reason I decided to start this poll is because I was looking at some known hybrids and I was amazed how little they "looked" like hybrids. I seriously questioned if I would be able to pick them out. As I finally got to the point of posting the poll, I'd been looking at the pics so long knowing the answers, I started to fear it would be easy for everyone. I guess not. Not only did the Hybrids get surprisingly low votes, no one was able to pick them all out.
Numbers 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, and 9 are all 25% Grey Rat and 75% Cornsnake. Stay tuned in the genetics forum to see why this is even more relevent than the apparent issue. However, frankly I'm beginning to see a lot more value in registered stock. Or is the battle for pure lines so far gone that it's time to stop caring? :shrugs: Interested in peoples thoughts.
FYI
#1 only 24% guessed hybrid
#2 only 34% guessed hybrid
#3 only 24% guessed hybrid
#7 only 26% guessed hybrid
#8 only 15% guessed hybrid
#9 only 32% guessed hybrid
Here are their pics again....

got good knees?
Since we're going to be emo about this:
I am alone.
Scared, sad, and unsure
Because my corns may not be pure.
I am alone.
Now my snakes cannot be cool
Because they come from a mixed gene pool
Cry myself to sleep
Could they be hybrids?
I can only weep.
Scared, sad, and unsure.
Because these corns, they are not pure.
I mean, really...
IMO the only sad thing is that people are willing to abandon a hobby entirely because their animals may not meet certain social standards. I'll never understand why this is such a big deal. :shrugs:
