"So I can understand... If I were to only say I had CH F1 Eastern's... would it be understood what I had were the offspring of a WC gravid female? Are all WC's technically F1's?"
Yes,.....but of course everyone isn't familiar with the term, but most seasoned herpers are well aware of it. if the wild-caught snake bred with another unrelated snake in the wild, they would indeed be "CH F-1's". Also, it is fairly common to see on price lists the "CH" abbreviation for snakes that laid eggs in captivity after being captured, but never actually bred in captivity.
I am sure there are instances were snakes would meet up and breed with another related sibling, or half-sibling, etc.., but there would be know way of knowing any of this. As long as the prefix "CH" was used, or simply "CH" it is plain for all to see the cituation of origin as much as humanly possible anyway..
