Knowledge For Buying : CB, WC, CBB?
구매를 위한 지식 : CB, WC, CBB는?
I’m so sorry for the lack of posting lately, but I’ve been really busy, but I thought I’d give a quick little post here.
최근 포스팅 결핍에 대해 유감입니다. 그러나 그동안 너무 바빴는데 그래도 여기에 빠른 포스팅을 주고자 생각했다
This information is mostly directed at those planning to purchase a new reptile online at some point.
이 정보는 온라인으로 어디선가 새파충류를 구매하려고 계획하고 있는 사람들에게 거의 방향지어져 있다
If you’ve been searching around lately, you may more commonly see the abbreviations CB, WC, CBB, or several others. I know when I first began looking around online, they confused me. So I’ll just clear them up real quick.
WC- Stands for wild caught.
These animals are typically not the way you want to go, especially your first time purchasing online. These animals typically do not do well in captivity and demand much more attention than captive bred animals.
LTC- Stands for Long Term Captive.
These are animals that have been kept in captivity for several years and are considered “tame”. However, these animals are still WC, and still may show signs of aggression and other problems associated with WC animals.
CB- This is where it may get confusing. So please direct your attention to this.
CB will typically have two different meanings.
1- Captive bred, which is all around the best way to go.
2- Captive born, meaning the eggs were transported in bulk from and hatched in captivity. Both are better choices than WC, but captive bred is better than captive born. Captive bred specimens will have better dispositions. Captive born specimens may still have some aggression traits and other WC traits since they haven’t been bred exclusively for captivity, unlike lineages of captive bred specimens. So this is a confusing part. When you see CB, always be sure to ask which it is before purchasing. CB as in captive bred? Or CB as in captive born?
CBB- Stands for Captive born and bred. Basically the captive bred of CB. This is all around the best choice, and if you see CBB, you can be almost certain it’s captive born and bred. So out of all of these, always go CBB first, especially if you’re a first time online buyer.
These also do not go just for online. Breeders, expos, and pet shops may use these as well, so learning what these means is very good knowledge to have when getting ready to purchase a new reptile.
1.Cb, Wc, Farm breeding
-CB : Captive Bred or Captive Born의 약자로 포획후 길러지거나 인공번식된 개체를 뜻함
-WC : Wild Caught의 약자로 야생에서 포획된 개체
-FB : Farm Breeding의 약자로 농장에서 인공번식된 개체
2.개체 사이즈 용어!!
In oviparous biology, a hatchling is a newly hatched fish, amphibian, reptile, or bird.
Hatchling(해츨링) < Baby베이비 < Big Baby빅베이비 <아성체(이어링) < 준성체 < 성체
*해츨링은 막 알아서 태어난 개체들을 뜻하는 용어
*빅베이비는 사육자들이 조금 큰 베비이를 말할때 쓰는 용어(실상 베이비라고 봐도 무방)
곤충류의 일생 중 최종적으로 성숙한 개체를 가리켜,
어른 벌레 또는 성충이라고 하는데요, 영어로 adult
또는 imago 로 씁니다.
예) Imago is the name given to the adult stage of an insect.
성충은 곤충의 성체(다 자란 동물) 단계에 붙여진 이름입니다.
예) Imago is the stage in which insects can reproduce.
성충은 곤충이 생식할 수 있는 성체 단계입니다.
3.피딩 용어
-피딩 : 개체한테 먹이를 주는 행위를 뜻합니다.
-핸드피딩 : 말 그대로 손 위에서 피딩하는 법,(핸드피딩을 한다는것은 그만큼 개체와 친해졌다는 뜻!!)
-컵(Cup)피딩 : 먹이붙임을 시작하는 개체나 거식 개체 한테 쓰는 피딩법, 작은 공간에 먹이와 개체를 넣고 하루정도 안에 놔두면 됨니다!! (뱀한테만 쓰는 방법)
-어시스트 : 먹이붙임을 시작하는 개체한테 쓰는 방법. 입에 먹이를 물려서 냉동먹이를 먹이로 인식하게 만드는 행위
-포스피딩 : 정말 정말 아파서 개체가 스스로 밥을 못 먹을때 쓰는 방법, 개체한테는 엄청난 스트레스이니 정말 필요할때 아니면 안하는게 좋습니다!! 핑키프레스(쥐를 짜서 입안으로 바로 급여하는 기구)와 먹이를 바로 목 끝까지 넘겨주는 방식 두가지가 있습니다.
-파워피딩 : 포스와는 다르게 개체가 먹이를 잘 먹을 경우 최대치를 급여해서 빨리 키우는 피딩법.(절대 억지로 먹이는 방법이 아니고 스스로 먹을때 많은 양의 먹이를 주는 행위)
4.질병 용어
- 임팩션(장폐색) : 피딩시에 먹이말고 적절하지않는 바닥재를 사용했을때 많이 생기는 질병.
-MBD : 구루병이라고 불리는 질병. 보통 주행성 개체한테 걸리며 비타민D3 부족으로 골격이 휘는 질병.
-마이트(Mite),틱(Tic) : 외부기생충 감염으로 WC개체나 야외에서 산책을 시켰을 경우 걸리는 질병
비늘사이에 붙어서 개체의 피를 빨아먹는 기생충. 발견시 바로 제거를 해야됨니다.
(따듯한 물에 몇십분 넣어두면 알아서 떨어기도하고 핀셋으로 떼는 방법도 있습니다.)
5. 브리딩 용어
-메이팅 : 암 수가 서로 교배하는 것을 뜻함
-쿨링 : 메이팅전에 온도를 낮춰 야생에 주기로 맞줘주는 작업, 건강한 산란을 하기 위한 작업입니다.
6.모프와 로컬의 차이
-모프 : 어원은 변형하다(morph) 라는 뜻으로 유전자를 변형해 개량한 개체들을 뜻한다. 종마다 수많은 모프가 존재한다. (ex 알비노 콘스네이크, 라벤더 콘스네이크,등등)
-로컬 : local로 지역을 뜻하는 단어지만 여기서는 어디지역에서 사는 개체라고 보시면 됨니다.
(ex 블킹의 풀네임은 멕시칸 블랙킹스네이크 이므로 로컬은 멕시칸이라고 보면 된다.)
CB = Capitive Bred
CF = Captive Farmed
LTC = Long Term Captive
WC = Wild Caught.
The number after this code (ie 02 / 03 etc) is the year the animal was born.
Therefore CB01 means an animal that was captive bred in the year 2001
So one of the common questions that comes up for new comers to the hobby is: What do CB, CF, WC and LTC mean?
With that in mind I decided to put a little page together explaining the terms, so without further ado:
CB – Captive bred
CB is short for captive bred. This means a specimen has been bred and raised in captivity. Whenever possible you should always buy CB animals for a number of reasons. Most importantly, if you are buying CB specimens you are not depleting animals from the wild. Second to this is that captive bred animals tend to have far fewer problems associated with them. They are usually parasite free, feed more readily and generally just produce less headaches for the owner.
CF – Captive farmed
Captive farmed (CF) reptiles are somewhere between captive bred and wild caught. Whilst captive farmed means a few different things in reptiles, more often than not it involves pregnant individuals or eggs being collected from the wild and the young farmed, before the adults being released (in the case of pregnant females being harvested). Captive farming isn’t ideal as it does deplete natural stocks of reptiles, however it is arguably much better than wild caught individuals. CF animals tend to adapt to captivity much better than wild caught animals, however they do carry a risk of parasites and care needs to be taken when acquiring them (ie quarantining is essential with CF animals). When buying a CF animal it is important to aquire feeding records if you can as feeding in captivity can some times be problematic with CF animals. This is particularly true for royal pythons.
WC – Wild caught
Wild caught reptiles are the least desirable option, however oftentimes they are the only option. These are animals which have been collected from wild populations and imported in to the pet trade. These reptiles may carry parasites, adapt poorly to captivity (causing problems with feeding, etc) and can generally be problematic. That said, some WC animals do cope well with captivity. Invertebrates such as tarantulas and scorpions often do well as WC individuals in captivity. In fact, a large proportion of the adult tarantulas and scorpions sold in the hobby are WC. When buying WC reptiles quarantining them is essential in order to prevent parasites and infections spreading to the rest of your collection. As a final note on WC, if it is an option you have a duty as a responsible keeper to avoid buying wild caught specimens. However I acknowledge that sometimes they must be purchased and can carry some benefits (ie introducing new genetics in to tired captive bred lines).
LTC – Long term captive
Long term captive is a tricky term to define, most people have their own definition of it. In short, it means a wild caught animal which has been in captivity long enough to have adapted to it and therefore carry few/none of the problems normally associated with WC reptiles. Many breeders use the 6month mark to decide when a reptile stops being WC and starts being LTC. Personally however I think a year is a better option. When purchasing LTC specimens always try to get a feeding record where available and make sure to check the animal over for any signs of parasitic infections etc.
