x.y.z

x is the number of male animals
y is the number of female animals
z is the number of unsexed animals

the above post nailed the numbers but what abbreviations are you having trouble with that would be the easiest question as there are millions. it might just be easier too just to bite the bullet and when you see one you dont know to quote it and in the same thread as what it means someone will jump in and answer it for you no problem at all.

0.4 means 0 males and 4 females (there are no unknown so it can be left off)

0.4 would be 0 males and 4 female normals

dropping the 3rd digit is very common other wise they would of wrote the same thing as 0.4.0 if you know them all there is no point really in saying you dont have any that you dont know the sex of

Ryssa,

The example of 0.4 normal BP is 0 male ball pythons and 4 female ball pythons.

1.0 Pastel BP = one female pastel morph ball python.

0.0.1 BP is an unsexed ball python.

hope that helps.
