I had a PM recently from a new member asking me what some terms were. I guess they were to embarassed to ask publically. Now, I know what you are thinking. Why me? Yes, I thought the same. BUt anyway, how about we make up a glossary of terms & abbreviations that people can read so that they understand all of our jibberings.

Even a very simple example was Moreliaman. He obviously has a great knowledge of pythons but still needed prompting on what a GTP was. I know that to me it is a $70,000 falcon!!!

The post could end up as one of those "Sticky" ones that is always easily accessible.

Some examples to start us off:

BHP - Black Headed Python
GTP - Green Tree Python
Accies - Varanus Acantherus (sp), Ridge Tailed Monitor (is this right?)
Vitticeps - Central Bearded Dragons (we can't expect people to know scientific names)
Barbata - Eastern Bearded Dragon
Mac - Anterisia Macolusa (sp) Spotted Python formerley Liasis Childreni
