What do the decimal or whatever numbers mean in ppls signatures?? like 2.0 amel corn snake or 0.0.1 jungle carpet python?? I asume genetics or het for something? On that note I want to get that genetics for snakes book to understand all this stuff, Is it a good book?

im pretty sure the first number is male the second id female and third is unsexed.

I can't speak to the book, but the numbers are male/female/unsexed

2.0 amel corns = 2 male amel corns

0.1 Nicaraguan Boa = 1 Female Nicaraguan boa

1.1 Aru Scrubs = 1 male and 1 female Aru Scrubs

0.0.1 Jungle x Coastal Carpet is unsexed

....And Natedog beat me to it.....

Been thinking about the book. I pick up every herp themed book that I can get my hands on at a decent price. Get it, and keep an open mind.

Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead, but I'm still a little confused about the whole decimal thing. I have 3 male ball pythons. The oldest is 8 and the other 2 are almost a year old. The female also almost a year old. How would you "write" that?

[infernalis]

The numbers have nothing to do with age, just sex.

So it would be displayed as..

3.1.0

3 males
1 females
0 unsexed snakes

Nothing wrong keeping a thread going, especially if it helps others.
