= Captive
Bred/Born |
Captive
bred/born animals are born or hatched as a result of it's parents successfully
breeding
in
captivity.
Contrary to
the belief
of
some individuals
captive
born
animals are
produced
by
breeders
all
over the
world
and are not
exclusive
to U.S. breeders. In other words not all imported
animals are wild caught.

| CB
= Captive
Born |
Captive
born animals
are born or
hatched in
captivity as
a result of
it's mother
having
bred
in the wild
prior
to her
capture. Captive
born
animals
can also
be
a result of
harvesting eggs
that have
been laid
in the
wild. |
| C
= Captive
Raised |
Captive
raised animals
can be wild
caught animals
or animals
of unknown
origin
that are otherwise
known to have
been in captivity
for some time.
These animals
are also sometimes
referred to
as "ltc" or
"long term
captives".
There
are differing
opinions as
to what length
of time defines
the term "ltc".
For some individuals
it is as little
as 6 months
while for
others
it must be
at least 2
years. The
abbreviation
"CR" is
also
used
to designate
these
animals. |
| R
= Ranched
or Farm
Raised |
Ranched
or farm raised
animals have
a rather broad
definition.
These can be
animals that
are born or
hatched as
a result of
harvesting eggs
or gravid females
from the wild
and then holding
them until
they give birth
or lay their
eggs. They
can be animals
that are born
or hatched
as
result of harvesting
wild caught
adults, confining
them
in large outdoor
areas, and
allowing them
to breed naturally.
While
similar
practices
do
occur
here
in
the
U.S.
it
is
interesting
to
note
that U.S.
breeders
rarely
if
ever
apply
this
definition
to
themselves. |
| W
= Wild
Caught |
Wild
caught animals
are animals
that have been
captured and
removed
from their
natural
environment.
For the pet
industry
this
also
refers to
invasive
species that
have
been established
in areas outside
of their
naturally
occurring
ranges. |
| Please
note: I do
not quarantine
or treat any
animals prior
to their sale.
I do STRONGLY
recommend that
you quarantine
and treat all
animals, including
captive born,
according
to their needs.
