Couple quick questions

[bonez]

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

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...)

No problem!!! Like I said I had to find something that said it too, b/c I couldn't figure it out 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! ^_^

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.
