Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

T+ amel Bairds Rat Snakes
Can anyone fill me in on this morph? Where the first one came from, who first bred them, etc? They look pure, but I'd like to trace them back before getting into them

Supposedly originated from Hwy. 277 stock bred in Europe. I first saw an image in the Elaphe Monograph that came out in '97.

I'm digging into this as well. My two cents however is that the T+ albino name is completely off. These snakes don't look like any form of albino. I just hatched my first clutch and they look less albino than my old line of normals. As adults however they look like the best lighter phased Bairds you can imagine.

I'm skeptical of anything new that comes from europe as it can be reverse engineered from another species. Without a dna test it too risky these days imo. Kind of like the scaless corns. Emory's may be extremely close but a hybrids a hybrid. People are reverse engineering albino angolans from balls and red tail people are skeptical of anything new even if it is coming from a country of origin.

Hi Tony,
I have 1.1 coming next week from Ken Foose. They look interesting. I was unsuccessful finding some that looked like your old ones,though I did just get a couple hatchlings of some that's parents were nice silver without too much of the bright overwash that's common/popular now. I miss the ones I had years ago that looked like a silver version of a Yellow rat with strong black lines where you only saw the beautiful colors subtly peeking through when you handled them.
They look interesting and I missed the docile nature of my old Bairds. I only know from Google image searches but I see your point that they appear to look more hypo than a typical Amel. animal. Interesting none the less.
Bob

I have a cb2016 pair of animals from Boy Scout Road in Jeff Davis County. Animals from the north western canyons of the county are fairly distinct. Really looking forward to seeing these guys grow up.
As far as the hypos being a corrupt European lineage, I don't get it. There isn't another morph out there that is analogous. I would love to have specific lineage info and of course any generic may be suspect but there is nothing about these that says anything but bairds.

Feel free to post pics as they grow. I'm always suspicious of things but I think they look like plain old Bairds too.
This is an example of the more old school classic type Bairds I've been looking for. A google image pic, not mine

Here is a pick of one of the BS Road animals as a juvenile (~4 months).
