Understanding our stock numbers may prove helpful in identifying unrelated specimens:

• F021-01M indicates a 2006 hatching (we started this code in 2001 with 'A', 2002 is 'B' and so on).
• F021-01M indicates the clutch number for that year, and thus all specimens listed as F021- are from the same clutch.
• F021-01M indicates this is the first male from that clutch. F021-03F would the third female from that clutch.

CB - Captive Bred, usually followed by year of birth. Hatched or born from parents kept in captivity.
