    Acronyms and Abbreviations

    is there a list on this site that defines the acronyms and abbreviations people tend to use?

    im a new owner of a bp but i see the words "herp", "uth", "pinkies", "fuzzies", etc.

    these are just a few i have encountered and i still dont know what herp means, lol.

    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

    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.
