Chris,
If I recall correctly he did some collecting IN PA but also did extensive traveling too. He was apparently part of an expedition or two. There is more than one Baird that comes up in those travels, I think the other guy was his brother.
I would not known most of this had I not researched the issue after you started the post. I knew the snake was named for a naturalist/scientist, but surely knew much less about him than I probably should have being I own a nice pair of these beautiful snakes. My hat goes off to you for getting my curiosity going.
Thanks,
Glenn B
