Hey,
I'm still learning the native snake-talk language that you guys speak, and can't figure out some of the short hand names for species of snakes. Here's what I've got so far-
BHP-Black headed Python
GTP-Green tree Python
Here are some I can't figure out:
RBB
Cowley BCH jungle
There are others out there, I just can't think of them right now. If people could help me understand some of the short hand names, that would be great.

Also, what's a 'yellow phase' or 'red phase' childrens python?
