I haven't heard much about bairds. Is there anyone who has some info on them? thank you.

well,
I can tell you they are great rat snakes.
They start out a little drab but as they mature they gain quite a bit of color while maintaining a wonderful metalic hue.
They do not get quite as large as the obsoletas.
They (in my experience) are great eaters, they can be a little nervous as hatchlings but tame as they grow to equal corns in temperament and have the same basic care requirements as corns or obsoletas.
I think I might have contributed to several people getting bairds rat snakes and I think they will all tell you they love these guys.

A few pics
I have posted these pics several times so I apologise to those who have seen them too many times but they are some of my favorites.

N. American Rat/Corn snake care sheet I wrote

Current snakes:
0.1 Licorice Stick Black Rat (Lola)
1.0 Black Rat (Frankie)
1.1 Texas Bairds (Jose and Rosa)
0.1 Blue Beauty (Brunhilde)
1.0 Green Tree Python (Claudius)... coming soon

I have 3 of them and there great.There are no 2 exactly alike in color.There temperment is better than most corns.There as easy to care for as corns and in my opinion nicer looking than most corn morphs.Juvies run between 35-100 bucks but some of the nicer ones Ive seen are 50 smackers or less.
