Couple quick questions

sorry isf they are dumb ones but it has been buggin me out.

What do people mean when they say CB, CBB and stuff like that..AND DUW? im assuming it is dial up warning but what are you meaning by this? something good?

sorry for the lame question, sometimes internet slang confuses me :cool:

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)

ooo thank you, now i cant stop stressing my brain trying to figure it out, all i got right was captive bred...lol thank you

No problem!!! Like I said I had to find something that said it too, b/c I couldn't figure it out :P I finally broke down and asked what the crazy 0.1.0 and such was in peoples sigs....hehe it seems easy once you know what it is, but until then...you might at well be speaking French! ^_^

yea i know right, did the same thing when i first joined. i have to tell you i learned soooo much from everyone on this site, i love it. only negative is it draws me from school because i just want to keep reading on this site. i even spend time reading posts from 03..

Hehe, yeah me too :giggle: At least we are all crazy obsesed together!!! ^_^

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.

Dang it! I had thought I had seen it somewhere like that....sorry!! Didn't mean to give out wrong info and confuse anyone! Apperntly I'm the one that was confused.... *oops* ^_^

its cool, now we both learned something :)

I'm actually kind of interested who still uses dial up.

Haha true....and I learned to double check before I open my big mouth :P

My mom still has dial-up at home. They are about a mile out of the closest DSL range or anything else other than dial up actually. My little brothe rthought he was doing to DIE when he found out at the new house he wouldn't have DSL...hehehe lil brat ^_^

You could start a new thread in Off Topic with a poll. I'd be curious, too...but I know a few, at least, still do.

Wow - it's intresting the differences in terminology used over here. Differences are;

In europe,

CB = captive bred (mother and father in captivity at time of breeding)
CF = captive farmed (seems to cover 1 and 3 of the above list I think:confused: )

There's no real point to this post just thought I'd share. :D

Heeeyyyy....so maybe, somewhere in the world, I was right! :D (just let me pretend....) ^_^

LTC=long term captive

That "LTC" can be really subjective. I've seen ads for LTC's and then found out they've been in captivity a couple of weeks or months. Not "long term/time" in my mind!
