My big, big Bairdi gal graced us with a huge 14 egg clutch of eggs this week, and I'm so proud of her.

Here's mom:

and the eggies:

(battery just for a size reference, lol, those eggs dwarf my corn eggs)

Very, very cool. Is mom by any chance Vivid stock?

Nope, she's out of Adam Block's former pair. I forget who has them now. I love her orange and her light steel coloration. Unless she's in shed, her black longitudinal stripes are barely noticeable, which is to my taste. I like the ones without the deep black longitudinal lines, they just look cleaner.

is a damn good looking snake... I love the orange skin between the scales.

good luck with that clutch.

That is a great photo of a very pretty snake. I also like seeing what the eggs look like. Thanks...TC

You have yourself an outstanding looking bairdi. She's stunning.

wow Connie,
Getting an early start this season, aren't you?
This is even earlier then last season isn't it? It seems like your first clutches were hatching in January last season. Of course, I could be wrong.....again.
Either way, still pretty darn early....congrats.
I never get tired of seeing her. She is one exeptional bairdi and that is a beautiful photograph.

I'm about on pace from last year, maybe a bit earlier. I had 2 sets of brumating groups. The first gal actually laid in October and the first hatched 15 minutes before New Year's. The rest in that group didn't go until later. The main group was hatching starting late February on.

This season, I'm looking at clutches hatching the end of January/early February. We've got 7 on the shelves so far.

It's really out of necessity we have them on this schedule. Our current setup utilizes the A/C for brumation cooling...so they brumate the last half of summer when the A/C is cranked. We staggered them this year so the last set just came up a couple weeks ago and the first set came up the end of August. Keeps things from bunching up.

I can't wait for these babies. I love this Bairdi, she's just my baby. I'd post a new picture of her, but I haven't gotten a decent one in a while...and well, I like this one. LOL

I'm sure you guys will see pipping pictures within seconds of when I do.

Hurley - do you have any pics of mom from a distance? I always see these great bairdi's from up close but I'm wondering what a nice one like that looks like from farther back.

I'll have to look about for a more long-distance shot. I found this one saved on the FTP that shows the pair (Daddy is the more yellow one, head to the top).

That is an amazing pic. What kind of camera/lense do you use?
