0.1 and all that... explain?

[RedSidedSPR]

I'm new to the whole biology, herp, stuff (i love it, my true passion has always been animals).. can someone explain this?

I see people signatures and stuff, they say, like, 1.0 sirtalis, 0.2 radix..

I'm not sure what that means exactly..

I'd google, but i have no clue what to search.


Thanks

Had the same question when i first came on the site. 1.2 would mean 1male 2females the next number if one would be unsexed babys.

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

1.2.4 means 1 male, 2 females, 4 unsexed/unsure

Ok gotcha. I knew it was something like, that. Glad to finally know

So i have 2.0 parietalis, and 1.0 sirtalis... cool.

Thanks.

any other questions that you have?

EDIT: I asked that same question (this forum or another) when i first started the snake hobby

Glad you asked that! I'd been wondering, but never got around to asking :P

Some folks have also more recently taken to adding a 4th part which is for eggs. Seems silly to me but hey who am I to argue haha.. To each their own. So as mentioned it's:

# of male. # of female. # of unknown. # of eggs

i was just as puzzled with the same thing, my worry was that it might be such a glaring obvious answer that i would embarrass myself on the open forum, so i PM'D Steve who assured me " it wasn't a dumb question, and is asked lots of times" so you are in good company

Thanks guys.

any other questions that you have?

None that i can think of right now, but thanks. i'll ask when i do.
