>>Is there a consensus yet about the bairds lighter morph? Is it hypo or albino? I have seen arguments both ways and I'm still confused. I have a female and a het male, who I've just been calling hypo since that's what they were called when I bought them. I believe they were orginally from Mike Falcon.

to me the eyes say hypo
BUT there may be things in Bairdis that are different.
I don't know.
Amelanism in corns and other rats snakes such as the obsoletas removes melanin (black) and results in red eyes. Hypomelanism is a reduction in black but does not neccessarily cause red eyes, so to me it just seems hypo.
strictly opinon, I only work with "normal" bairdis.
At least at this time.
