I call this a teachable moment.
Correct, WC means Wild Caught.
Partially correct in that CBB means captive bred. You're missing the second "b".
Oh about 15+ years ago there were a lot more wild caught and farmed babies so we had to designate them.
WC = wild caught. Means the animal came from the wild. Simple enough.
CB or CH = Captive Born/Captive Hatched. Means the gravid female was collected from the wild, kept until they laid eggs or had babies then released again. Eggs were incubated at the farm. Or the eggs were collected and artificially incubated.
CBB = Captive Born and Bred. Means true blue as we know them today "captive bred" animals.
