    Decimals

    Most of the members here have something that looks like this in their sig: 2.3.1 Pastel Albinos. Which decimal means male or female and what's that 3rd decimal I sometimes see in member's sigs for?
    -Ryan Hardwikk (aka Member #6667)

    My snakes:
    0.1 Kenyan Sand Boa ~Nephthys~ (aka "Linky")

    In a better place:
    1.0 Pastel Western Hognose ~Charon~ 10/3/07-4/24/09

    If you need/want to know anything about Hognose snakes, just ask me.

    Re: Decimals

    It goes this way....

    male.female.unsexed

    so 1.2.5 would be one male, two females, 5 unsexed.

    If you are referring to a pair only then it's usually expresssed 1.1 with no designation for any unsexed.

    If you had just one female you could express it either as...

    0.1 or 0.1.0

    but it's more common to see it done 0.1

    Hope that helps.

    The first number is the number of males in a group, the second is reserved for females and the last number is reserved for unknown or unsexed individuals. (3.2.1 = three males, two females and 1 unsexed animal)
