Call me stupid if u wish. But, I am BRAND new to Ball Pythons. And I am just wondering the terms you use for BP's
Really, that’s the only one I know is BP :zi:
But... I've noticed the letters F/T or P/T came up a few times I know it has to do w/ food. So, if anyone could please tell me the abbv's. You use with BP's thank you

well F/T mean FROZEN/THAWED but i have no idea what the other means.

Not knowing this stuff does not make you stupid. It's not like snake world terms are comon knowledge.
Here's a list that might help for the futre.
F/T = Frozen thawed. This applies to the food, mice and rats.
F/K = Fresh kill. That's when a rodent is killed just before feeding.
WC = Wild caught animal.
LTC = Long term captive. This is a herp that started out as a WC but has been cleaned up and in captivity for a while.
CH = a snake that was hatched in captivity from a imported gravid female.
CB = This is a herp that when an animal is born in captivity or some people use it to mean captive bred.
CBB = means that the animal was breed in captivity and born in captivity.
UTH = Undertank heater.
I'm sure there's more but that's all that comes to mind right now.
Cheers,
Trevor
