signatures

[Hollis_Steed]

I see in many of the signatures numbers like: 1.1.0 or 2.0 etc... Can someone tell me what they mean? I wonder if it is male.female or something close to that....?? (tryin' to learn the ropes:rolleyes:)

1.2.3
1-Males
2-Females
3-Unknown babies

[tspuckler]

First number (before the decimal) = number of males.

Second number (after the decimal) = number of females.

Third number (after second decimal) = number of unknown gender.

Therefore 3.5.12 Eastern Garters would mean 3 males, 5 females and 12 of unknown gender.

Often you'll see people selling 1.1 snakes, which would mean a true male/female pair.

Here's a 0.1 Eastern that I found the other day:

I was on the right track then! It helps to ask questions!

[bkhuff1s]

I just asked this the other day, something interesting if its 2.2.13.15 The fourth one would be the number of eggs. Although that's not applicable for garters

I'm coming up on my 2nd anniversary on the forum and the high level of kind and caring people is what keeps me here.
Other peoples success means a lot to the members.

I was hesitant to ask too many questions before getting a feel for the kind of people here. I've seen other forums where it was constant bashing of each other. I have felt totally welcome here and quite comfortable now in asking those "dumb questions" without the fear of being blasted! Great place to gain more knowlege from those who are actually actively involved!

That isn't a dumb question at all. Most people new to reptiles have to ask it. Usually like you, they can figure out it has something to do with the gender but it is something you need to know exactly how it works. Lots of ads selling reptiles list them using those numbers.

No personal bashing here. Just the occasional heated debate.;)

Your question was a perfect question and it's encouraging to hear "newbies" asking the right questions.

[infernalis]

I know what Hollis Steed is saying, I belong to a laserist forum that has tons of drama.

I do speak up about all the newbie bashing though, it's irritating.

They all spend as much time doing "ban polls" and crap as they do discussing lasers.

It's counterproductive.

[Charis]

Yeah, the few forums I belong to are all overwhelmingly nice but sometimes they can get a little ugly. And I've skimmed a few that were pretty nasty, had to wonder why anyone would join. I think this one is actually the most consistently welcoming forum I belong to, though.

Some people join forums just to create conflict and drama.
This is a nice place.

Ok guys, so if I understand this correctly, I own:
1.0 T.s. Fitchi
0.1 T.e Vagrans
0.1 Nebraska Albino T. Radix

Thanks for the lesson!

The only mistake I see is the fact that lone radix should live here in Iowa with me. Imagine how lonely it is.:rolleyes:
It is called the T.radix Ranch:D All radixes are under my control or at least should be:D

[Hollis_Steed]

Steve,
If they're under your control then can I assume you'll send me a box of pinkies so I can take good care of your charge?:D

[RicMartin]

I belong to several communities, and this is one of the nicest, people on this forum are genuine. It's very refreshing.

[Mommy2many]

Steve, you are very welcome.

[guidofatherof5]

Steve,

Hold the phone. Somehow this backfired on me.
I give you control and ownership(responsibility) of what you have.:D

[Hollis_Steed]

Thank you Steve, I accept responsibility and will do my best to take care of your little radix:p
