I have noticed a lot of abreviations and terms used, that as a newbie I'm totally confused of the meanings too.

What does ?

'CB' mean and the digit that follows?

Thanks to anyone that helps me out, sorry if I seem dim.

'CB' means "Captive Bred", usually followed by the year :) So CB12 means captive bred in the year 2012! You sometimes see WC (Wild Caught) and a few others but they're less common.
