Texas Bairdi

- Start date
I got them back in 2000 when I was picking up a pair of ghosts from the breeder. He showed me the adults and they were absolutely stunning.
I do love these Bairdi. They are more outgoing than my corns. They have a tendency to hang out and watch what goes on around them from their cage. I always was more likely to find them on top of their hides, rather than in them.
Very regal animals, big and strong. They are probably a foot or two longer than my corns and solid muscle.
The female looks like she is made of steel. The male has the more yellow background while she has more oranges.

I was hoping they would go this spring, but so far no interest. If they don't, then they'll be going down for a nice long, cold brumation this fall. They seem to be a little more particular about being brumated for breeding than my corns and I don't think they had a long enough "winter" this past fall. We'll see. Maybe they'll just go later this spring, but if not they will next year. She has laid a clutch in the past, back when I actually had a basement and a means of brumating for long periods at cooler temps.

We picked up a Baird's baby last Nov and I love it! We want more and are in contact with a breeder who has albinos, too, and possible piebalds. Can't wait for summer to get all the babies we're after!!

Its because of Elizabeth's beauty I got myself a pair of them. It seems that once you see what the adults look like, you can't help yourself. =D
Mine are a tad bit flightier than corns of their age, and are more apt to nip and musk...but I think it'll change as they get older.
They're definitely not as shy as corn babies, 9 times out of 10 they sit out on top of their hides and if I'm moving around they come to the front of their tub to see if it involves them and food.
I can't wait till mine get the colors on them that are already starting to peek through.

Hopefully Hurley won't mind me tromping on her post.
Took these in December a week or so after I got them:
Male:
Female:
I took these at the end of February, approximately 6 months old:
Female:
Male:
And yes, eating pics are easier to take. For one they're not coming out of the box to investigate..and two the prey stretches out the skin and shows the colors waiting to come out. =)
