Terminology
Is there a place on the web that I can find herp terminology? How about the number system that I see before a snake when one is for sale? What do the numbers stand for? Thanks

The numbers stand for the sex. It goes: male.female.unsexed
For example 1.1 means 1 male and 1 female
1.0 means 1 male
0.2 means 2 female
Not sure what terminology you're looking for, but here are a couple of acronyms that I use:
F/T - frozen thawed (prey items)
F/K - fresh killed, killing or stunning right before feeding.
het - means heterozygous for a trait (carries a recessive trait that is not showing, albino for example.)
there are also nicknames for many species, I keep JCPs (jungle carpet pythons), BRBs (brazilian rainbow boas), and BCI (boa constrictor imperator)
There are many more, I believe that Amazon tree boas are often referred to as "ammies"
Basiccally just browse through the forums and when you see something that you have a question on, just ask. That's why we're all here, to help each other out!
Good luck,
Brent Strande
