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.

It's how we describe the break down of genders...so if you have 3.6 normal ball pythons, that would be 3 males and 6 females. =)

Alice, thanks, and your collection looks great as well. I want one thing on your list, and plan to get it next year. Calicos rock.

It's great to see the diversity in all of these collections. I think this is one of my favorite threads in a while. I also forgot to put one last animal on there. My wife bought a snake in Chicago that I have liked for a while, but she claims it as hers.

It is still rather new. Not really a whole lot of time involved....maybe 2 hrs/week tops....

Right now I have a False Percula Clownfish, a Scooter Blenny, and two pieces of coral (Hammer and Hairy Mushrooms). That is probably all the fish I will put in there for a while.....but I will add more coral as I go ;)

ya when we had our nano tank 12 gallons... we had a pygmy angel and two pajama cardinals. they sure can't hold much in the way of fish.

fortunately our pj cardinals stayed small until we started up the 90g

20.80 breeder rats
24.72 breeder mice

Yes she was quarantined. If you read the post "In memory of Athena" you would realize she had a genetic imune problem. All the other animals were not affected. I have several rooms with animals in different stages, breeding, neonates, quarantined, etc... I would NOT sell an animal that maybe affected. Thanks for your and concern.
