want to know what the acronyms are?

[carpy]

i cant edit it anymore - and yes i did mean paraguayan rainbow boa - could a mod edit that please

het - heterozygous - An organism is a heterozygote or is heterozygous at a locus or gene when it has different alleles occupying the gene's position in each of the homologous chromosomes

[carpy]

have i missed any?

I'm probably way wrong and will get laughed at for this, but I'm sure I've seen written on the boards somewhere...

etp - emerald tree python ??

[Nerys]

etb is emerald tree boa
gtp is green tree python

(you don't get an emerald tree python that is...)

hth - hope to help
atm - at the moment
btw - by the way
atb - can also be all the best, when not used in a snakey contect

stat - thermostat - something different from a thermometer.. a stat controls the temperature, a thermometer only measures it

mat stat - use for heat mats, can take a lower load compared to its bigger brother, the standard on/off thermostat
dimmer stat - use for controling heat bulbs (as in light bulbs)
pulse state - use for controlling ceramics, or banks of heat mats, also better on incubators than a standard on/off stat

don't use a pulse stat on a light source, or you get a disco effect and as well as blowing bulbs faster, also confuse your reptiles as their day night cycles go up the creek.

[Grakky]
