I don't think there is a list but I can help you out!

Herp is another word we often use to refer to reptiles, amphibians, etc. Herpetology is the study of these animals. "herps - A common contraction of the word “herpetofauna,”"

UTH = Under Tank Heater, a common device used to heat enclosures

Pinkies are newly born baby mice or rats

Fuzzies are a more mature version of the pinkie. Their eyes aren't open yet but they are covered in soft fur.

If you have any others just post em :gj:

Hi,

There is indeed a list of abreviations and acronyms. But there are always a few that get missed so don't be afraid to ask. :)
