    F2 is the offspring of those babies when they are bred together.
    F3 is the offspring of those babies, etc etc
    It notates interbreeding, breeding siblings together, which as we understand in reptiles is generally not genetically bad for a few generations.

    If you bred an F1 to an unrelated snake, those new babies would be F1s from that pairing.
    I hope that helps!
