Here's my '05 Mex Bairds with green blotches. He's much lighter than his mate and keeps getting lighter.. When I purchased them about six months ago, they looked very much alike.
This is my first pair of Mex Bairds, and I dont know what to make of it...

comments are very much appreciated.

I am not an expert on this, but from looking at the photo, I think the the greenish one with its gray head is looking more like a classic Mexican Bairds. You will have a much better idea in 07 as to what they will look like as adults. But why worry at this point? There is no such thing as an ugly Bairds.

Hey Byron, nothing really helpful, but that is a cool looking bairdi and nice photo also!- Toby

Doesn't much matter what they look like now. As you probably know, they look different as adults; from dirty reddish to metallic silver. Neonates look similar for all localities. A great snake to keep though. Very unappreciated species!

That's one beautiful snake. If you don't want it, send it my way!
