I am new to the snake world and was wandering what some of the words and abbreviations were.......pyro,het,2.2,CB,motley,ontogenetic,hybrid,...etc.

Thanks

pyro=Lampropeltis pyromelana (Sonoran Mt. Kingsnake)
Het.=Heterozygous.
2.2=Two males and two females.
ontogenetic=Visible developing morphological characters.
hybrid=The result of breeding together of different species or genera.
Motley=A recessive gene first seen in corn snakes where the dorsal saddles become fused on the sides.
Somewhere on the web there is a glossary of this stuff but I don't have the URL. It takes awhile to understand it all...learn as you go..I've been keeping/breeding snakes for about 30 years.
