I know CB means captive bred, but what does CBB mean? I recently bought a pair of henkles that are CBB. Thanks

Dealers use CB to abbreviate either captive bred or captive born, captive bred meaning the offspring were from parents that bred in captivity, captive born meaning that the offspring are from parents that bred in the wild and laid eggs in captivity. CBB generally stands for captive bred and born which is the same as captive bred. It's always a good idea to call the dealer to find out the history of the animals you are recieving. It's not uncommon for gravid uroplatus to be imported and then lay eggs at the dealer or wholesaler. Good luck,
