That snake in the link looks all bairdi to me, as have the other bairdi I've seen online from the county.

The thing that made the big snake look like a hybrid was the dark head. It was really a dark snake with a dark head, like a TX Rat. I've caught big bairdi on several occasions (albeit further west) but never seen one with a dark cap like that.
