it's something to use, if you already know the sex of your snakes
like 1.3.4
would mean 1 male, 3 females, and 4 unsexed
i'ts an abbreviation of sorts

Its a kind of declaration for any animals sex
used also in sciencifical studies and zoos.
When your collection becomes bigger its easier to say:
"I´ve got 1,2 ´parietalis, 3,1,2 ´atratus...."
If genus is clear you don´t need to name specy and subspecy,
because subspecy names are unique and clear to all insiders:D

I never knew that! Well I knew people use it to abreviate but I never knew which was male and which was female!
Thanks!
See GGarter? You don't have to be embarrassed! Other people are learning too!
On the other hand, I'm only 9 years old.

It doesn't matter to me if I learn from a 9 year old.
You probably know a lot that I don't mikhaila!:)

I think most kids today know a lot more than we expect them to! I didn't know about these numbers before either, but i felt silly asking about it, so I just kept reading until someone else did!!:o
See Mikhaila, you helped more than one of us!!:)
