>>F1 is first generation in captivity. I believe the earliest generation of the pair sets the generation. If I bred a WC snake to a 11th generation in captivity snake then the babies would be f1's. The reason I ask the question is I cant be 100% that the male she was locked up with at capture is the father. She might be a slut and hooked up with some other Kings earlier in the day??? There is also the possibility of more than one dad to the clutch as well. Anyway since it wasnt humans that had these kids come together I look at it as a more natural breeding plus if these hadnt been collected the exact same babies would be running around outside as we post. Either way F1's or F0's is fine with me just curious what the standard was in this instance.

But they were hatched in captivity......so much could've gone wrong but you made sure it didn't.....No wild pressures at all on those eggs.....

F1 is just a designation for a filial year of any project snake or generation from the wild......
If you breed F11s to F3s the offspring are STILL 12 generations from the wild from one parent.....They will be F12s in my book.....
