1.0.1 - This is a way of displaying the sex of a snake. It goes like this Male.Female.Unkown so if you had 1.0.1 you would have one male, no females and one unkown. Sometimes if the sex of the snake is known it will be displayed either 1.0 or 0.1 (leaving off the unknown numeral)
Please add any I've forgotten! :) Thanks for the idea Smulkin!
