Can someone explain this to me?

Ok so I have see this on alot of people signatures.

Example
Snake Breed A:0.1
Snake Breed B: 4.3
Snake Breed C: 0.3
Ect.

What does this mean? I know this is a noob thing to ask but the more i see it the more im confused.

Breed A no males, 1 female
Breed B 4 males, 3 females
BreedC no males, 3 females

It's how many of which sex they own.
1.0 is one male
0.1 is one female
0.0.1 is one unknown.

or you may see this 4.8.4 = males-females-unsexed

Male.Female.Unknown


So if I had 3 males, 5 females, and 12 unknown/unsexed... it would be
3.5.12

So you will often see people selling snakes like "2. pied ball pythons" or ".3 brazilian rainbow boas" or they will sometimes include the 0--"0.1 albino hognose" etc..

Some people only show the first two because all their animals are sexed!

Wow that makes so much more since to me know. Thanks Everyone.

I bet i looked like an idiot to the person on craigslist when i asked how many pastels he had and what the sex was.
He had it listed as 4.3 Pastels
So 4 males 3 females lol.

Thanks everyone.

Don't worry about it. That question gets asked often:P

I like to remember it with "females are always right" (of the decimal).

Thank-you for posting this, I also was confused :)

I had the same question a couple months ago. It was driving me crazy seeing those numbers and not knowing what they meant. Luckily, the kind people people on here answered it for me quickly. I've done the same thing as you though...I'd see some for sales with the numbers and then email to ask what sex they were lol! Oh well, at least we know now!
