being new here, i would like to know what some common abberviations are.

like pippin would be a hatchling?

and are there any abbreviations for and morphs?

Sorry for being a noob for now. we all have to start somewhere!
 
When the snakes slit the eggs and poke their noses out it's called 'pipping', and they are called 'pippies'. Anerythristic is shortened to anery, amelanistic is amel, hypomelanistic is hypo, lavendar is lav, motley is mot......that's all I can think of right now!
 
Pipping = Hatching
Pip = Hatchling
Viv = Vivarium
F/T = Frozen Thawed (mice/rats/hamsters)
Brain = Cut open the skull of the F/T and allow some brain to come out
Cull = Kill/Freeze to death
WIR = Week In Review (a member makes a thread reviewing important parts of the previous week, this is done each week here)
Munson Plan = A feeding plan created by Roy Munson, easy to follow, great guidelines to how much to feed your snake when, based on the weight of your snake and the prey items.
Blue = Is often used to represent a snake in shed, ie: "my snake is going through her first blue"
DIY = Do it Yourself
1.2.0 = 1 male 2 female 0 sex unknown
1.1 = would then mean 1 male 1 female, if there are no unknowns then it is often left out
R.O. = Reverse Okeetee
C.C. = Candycane
Amel = Amelanism/Amelanistic/Albino (means with out black pigment)
Anery(Anery Type A) = Anerythrism/Melanistic/Anerythristic/Black Albino (means lacks all red and most yellow pigments)
Anery(Anery Type B) = Anerythrism/Melanistic/Anerythristic/Black Albino/Charcoal (means lacks all red and generally all yellow pigments)
Blood(s) = Bloodreds
Lav = Lavenders (very light snake with purplish tones)
Hypo = Hypomelanistic/Hypomelanism(means a reduction not removal of black pigment)
Hypo Lav = Hypomelanistic Lavender

Hope this helps, it's all i can think of.

DYK = Did You Know
IMO = In My Opinion

het = Heterozygous (contains gene, but not physically showing)
homo = Homozygous (shows gene)
poss het = Possibly heterozygous (not confirmed, need breeding trials)

Hey Robbie great additions.... :idea: how do we go about getting all of this put together and on a sticky maybe in the Introductions area for all newcomers.... of course once others put in more input...this just seems like a great info thread...I know I could have really used this when I joined...it would have made reading and learning so much easier!!!

Hmmmmmmmmmmm... There is an FAQ section... maybe once we compile a complete list, we can have a mod post and sticky it there?
 
burm=burmese python
bp=ball python
brb=brazillian rainbow boa
gtp=green tree python
atb=amazon tree boa
 
Some feeder terms
Red = 1 day old mouse
Pink, pinky = young mouse with no fur
Peach fuzz, peach fuzzy = fur just starting through
Crawler = mouse just staring to move around
Hopper = lively young mouse, jump like kangaroos right out of your hands!
Weanling = youmg adult mouse
F/T = frozen, thawed food item
F/K = fresh killed

retic = reticulated python
rp = Royal python = ball python
ETB = Emerald Tree Boa
conda = Anaconda
troll = Disruptive forum member who's sole purpose for existence is to cause fights.
pups = rat pups = young rats
 
Great idea to make it a sticky!

We should let it run a while, and "bump" it now and then for more input. And then ask a mod to make it a sticky. That would be a great help for newcomers. And if anyone has one question on terms, we can point him / her to the sticky so that they will be totally overwhelmed with terms, lol!
