Hey Bairds Rat Snakes Fans.....I too have really not been able to thin my collection down enought to get rid of my Bairds, I really like them, sweet temperments and good feeders. One of the Serpents that just get better with age. Enjoy.....

Below is a snippit of the information obtained on the critter below, hopefully I will get some eggs from her this year bred to an Adam Block offspring...Enjoy!

“Hypo” Bairds Rat (Pantherophis bairdi)Background Information

Per E-mail Coorespondance with Don Soderberg, South Mountain Reptiles (11/1/05):

I have no idea what she could be other than "not normal". I always wondered if she was hypo, but never looked into it. I regret never comparing her shed skin to that of a normal. That might be an indication of hypo. In corns, most hypos shed a clear skin like that of an albino while the non hypos show dark colors. If you could do that, I'd love to know what you come up with. Maybe I don't want to know. lol. Anyway, I have no idea what she might be other than she was much lighter and had faded patterns compared to other Baird's rats.



More Bairds, Adam Block Male......




My Albino Male, hopefully get eggs from a 100% Het. Female this year, need to get a more recent picture...he is better looking now....


OK...I hope I do not get mean spirited e-mails, but here are two other Bairds that I DO NOT OWN, Owner unknown, these are some of the best examples of the Baridi Complex/morphs I have seen....Sorry if the owner of these critters does not approve of my posting them. But I wanted to share!
