    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I saw a discussion about the terms: CB, CBB and WC on a Facebook reptile forum.

In this discussion There is conflict of understanding and the difference between CB and CBB.

CBB Captive bred and born

CB Captive Bred

Are these two terms the same or not?

Or is it abbreviation for what ever you want it to be?

I just need some clarification on this if someone can help me out here.

Thanks
 
The two terms are interchangeable. CBB is sort of a redundancy. Some people consider CB to be captive bred, and others think of it as captive born. The assumption in either case being that the breeding that produced the animal occurred in captivity, so they are the same thing.
This is as opposed to CH (captive hatched) which apparently wasn't part of the discussion. CH is an animal born in captivity from a breeding that occurred in the wild.
