BRB = Brazilian Rainbow Boa

Anyone shed some insight on what 'hot' stands for? All I know is that it's in reference with venomous snakes.

Edit: Oops, didn't reload before I posted to check for new posts D; Jen beat me <3 Last post I'd seen was the last one Dshin made to Rob.

Re: Herp Lingo :)

Snakes are venomous rather than poisonous. A venomous animal will fill you wi venom by biting or spraying venom. A poisonous animal kills you when you eat/ingest it or its byproducts.

I think the term HOT comes from them being "too hot to handle"

Morph= Cross-breeding of snakes

Uhm.....No. Hybrid is the word you're looking for, i.e. a bateater is a hybrid cross between a Burmese and a retic, or a superball is a hybrid of a ball python and a blood/short tailed python.

A morph is typically a color phase or having to do with the snake's pattern like a tiger retic, green Burmese, yellow blood, etc.
