    I was pretty confused for a while too! ^_^ Glad to know I'm not the only one...

    Someone please correct me if I'm wrong...

    CB-captive born (eggs found in wild) <---this is the one I'm not completely sure about
    CBB-captive bred and born
    WC-wild caught

    And yes DU or DUW is ''dial up warning'', which is just warning the people that are using dial up that there are alot of pictures so it may take the page quite a while to load...all of those pics really screw with the dial-up!! (that's what we have at home so I don't get to look at all the pretties when I'm there...:P)

    Actually...

    1. CB = Captive Born
    2. CBB= Captive Born Baby
    3. CH = Captive Hatched ... Means wild female laid eggs in captivity and babies were hatched in captivity, but a lot of people refer to farmed babies (babies hatched in africa) as captive hatched.
    4. DUW = Dial Up warning
    5. WC = Wild Caught

    Shannon, it is my understanding that CB does mean captive born as you said, but not eggs found in the wild. That is usually referred to as "captive hatched - CH" or "farmed" as Jon mentioned above. CB usually means that the hatchlings are babies from a pair of snakes in captivity (being kept to breed and produce babies). Hope this helps.
