    Posting that list was a great idea. I learned a new one today (dinker) & think it will help a lot of folks not familiar with reptile speak!

    Re: What does that mean? Herp abbreviations & acronyms

    Thought of another acronym that you might see around here:

    SVL - snout-to-vent length, the length of an animal measured from the tip of its snout to its vent (cloaca).

    Re: What does that mean? Herp abbreviations & acronyms

    I would redo your definition of "het" because the way it is written sounds to me like you are talking about 2 different unrelated genes.

    I believe the prefered definition (at least among geneticists) is that a "het" is 2 different alleles of a specific gene.
