Sorry - silly question!

[severe_bomber]

Sorry - I'm sure the answer is simple (As always!) but I really don't understand what all the decimal numbers and stuff are in people's profiles. Ya know, when they say "1.0.0 pythons, 1.0 boa, 0.1 girlfriend".

What does that mean? Sorry to be dumb but this has been bugging me for a while now!

Thanx

1.0 is male 0.1 is female and the other is unsexed

[Boanerges]

So in what you wrote:

1.0.0 pythons - You have one male python, no females and no unkowns

1.0 boa - You have 1 male boa and no females

0.1 girlfriend - 0.1 means no males and 1 female. So if you were a girl and had one boyfriend they would have wrote 1.0 Boyfriend or something like that
