It's a great seed to plant Shaky. I was just poking a little fun at the fact that hybrid or cross seems to be how some people accept new traits lately. Can't blame them with the amount of successful crossing and hybrid breeding going on. There's an albino bairds and a possible hypo Bairds and both have hit suspicion or cries of fowl right off the bat. I think the original stripped corns were hatched in England by Mike Nolan in the mid 1980's and the original stock was imported by Ernie Wagner (The Corn Snake Manual, page 105). He brought the project from Europe and bred the founders and produced stripe corns and hets which ended up with breeders all across the country. I don't know what or if there were any suspicions or "not pure" claims. Good luck Shaky. I'll keep in mind that you may be looking for a Bairdi that's metallic with very faint or no visible stripes. To answer your orignal question:
Maybe it involves breeding a high metallic Texas Bairdi to a light Mexican Bairdi. I think you asked if anyone had bred a Mexican to a Texas Bairdi. Does that cross have stripes?
:What would you cross to get a metallic stripeless?
:BTW-the Hammacks said that hatchlings look the same(blotched)
:sorry to plant the seed, but I always hoped mine's stripes would be less than normal
