You’ll commonly see these kind of abbreviations used by reputable breeders. This list was originally provided to me by a friend, and I found the original source here. Below is an example of a card we received when we purchased Rick from BB’s Crested Geckos. You’ll see notations that he’s a GTA created from an animal from PdV (Philippe de Vosjoli) and CDM (Conley Dark Morph). If you are purchasing pure locale animals (not that Type A exactly is), it’s important to have as much history as you can.
