Question Number Confusion

Ok, I've been doing alot of research into genetics, I plan on becoming a python breeder after college...

And I just found, on this site mostly, that everyone says things like "I have 2.3 corn snakes, 2.0 ball pythons, 0.1 milk snakes, etc."

I feel kind of juvenile and uneducated by asking. But hey, no questions no answers right? So...What do the numbers mean?

Thank you in advance,
Jenn

i believe the first number is the amount of males you have, second is females and 3rd is unsexed
1.1.1 is 1 male, 1 female and 1 unsexed

That's so the females can kick them in the butt when they step out of line, LOL.

This is how I put it simply... Male.Female.Unsexed Whatever number you have in place of those is how many of each sex you have of that herptile.
