F1 F2 F3 confusion

[sandrachameleon]

Thought I understood. Then read something an aquaintance wrote about his snakes. Got confused.

is this accurate?
F1 = First filial generation; the offspring of two unrelated / wild caught parents.
F2 = Second generation; the offspring of two F1s.
Must these be related F1s (siblings) or can they be F1s from different lineage?
F3 = third generation; the offspring of two F2s
(are the F2s related or unrelated?)

Is a captive hatched animal (from a wc female) a P or an F1?

If a captive hatched male is bred to a second generation captive bred and born (her parents and her parents parents were captive bred) female, what are the offspring? F2 or?

I see F1, F2 applied to the number of generations out of the wild, but I didnt think this was the correct usage - I thought it had to do with inbreeding. This previous thread didnt fully clear the matter up I dont think https://www.chameleonforums.com/f1-f2-f3-f4-26491/

F2 need just F1 parents, no matter which bloodline or if they are related. F3 needs to real F2 parents.
If you cross F2 und F1 you have still F2
If animals are related or not is in the filialsystem not relevant. Captive hatched animals are F1

Just seen that Fabián created a great diagramm: https://www.chameleonforums.com/f1-f2-f3-f4-26491/index3.html

So, please confirm - for chameleon breeders, the F1, F2 F3 etc means generations captive, nothing to do with line breeding

As far as I know this is correct. I have a 4 month F1 ambilobe that I can't wait to see what is adult colours will be like.
