What is the breeding size for Baird's Rats? What is the average clutch size? What are the temps to determine sex?

I have a 3ft male in my posession. He is really beautiful. I've got to ask my professor for a copy of the picture he took of it. He was captured in Loma Alta, TX summer of 03.

I found a gravid female a couple of years back that wasn't much over 3 feet long (160 g after laying 8 large eggs), so I am sure a male is ready to go by that size.

Are Mexican Baird's bigger in size?

Females usually have clutch sizes between 4-9 eggs. You would want to incubate the eggs at a mid to low 80's (81-86F). As far as breeding sizes, you've seen my pair. By the way, my female is very, very gravid!

TRACE!!! Are yours Texas Baird's or Mexican Bairds? They look Mexican to me.

I am pretty sure they are Texans. They were produced by Adam Block at impact reptiles. I'll bring my male to tonights AA... I mean reptile meeting.
