It means what it says...
CB= Captive bred===bred in captivity , concieved and hatched ,
WC= Taken from the wild
LTC= Wild caught but been in captivity a long time

There are a few others , for ranch farmed and captive born or captive hatched , ie from wild caught animals that were gravid at time of capture.

Uk Bred and others are just more specific means of letting people know the origin of the animal.
