What are those decimals? 0.1.1

Maybe someone can help me out? Almost everyone that has responded to my questions have a list of there animals. And all have decimals before the pets breed or name.
Example-0.1 bearded dragon 1.0 dogs 0.3 Iguana
I know I might sound dumb but...what do these decimals mean?

 

first # is the number of males, end # is females, third is unknown sex.
For example,
2.3.1 leopard geckos means 2 males,3 female and 1 which they can't figure out the sex yet.

 

if there is a fourth number that is the number of eggs in incubation.

 

There should seriously be a sticky on this.... this question is asked like, every day.

 

Yea i agree about making this a sticky, most new members ask this question! Could a mod put this on sticky?

 

The EASIEST way to remember the 1.1.1 decimal system

If you know 1.2 leopard geckos has to do with male and female, but can't remember which is which, take a hint from a married guy that will help you remember.

Anyone who's been married will tell you that the female is always RIGHT, just like in the decimal system, male is the number on the left and female is the number on the right. So 1.2 leopard geckos means 1 male and two females. Hope that helps.

 

lol, that makes sense, haha

 

Glad to see I'm not the only one who was curious about that.
Unique to internet I guess. thats the only place in 30 years of handling herps that I've seen, or heard the term.....3.2.1

 

Hmmm. Very helpful.

 

This is in the FAQ aswell,

I never new that either. WHEW!! What a relief. I was beginning to think those people were keeping pieces of animals!

 

i was curious about thsoe myself ^__^

 

lmao

 

good sticky i was just wondering

 

Thats cool, i didn't know that, nor have I seen it, but i will keep my eyes open

 

thats the reason l never put anything for my pets!! Glad l know now though! This topic has really tickled me!! Really appreciated the one about the female always being right! l must have a float through FAQ as l haven't really had the chance yet.

 

ive seen people with -1.0 and stuff I guess that means they lost an animal?

 

glad i reed this i didnt know what the dots were about till now

 

Maybe I'm the only one on here this puter stupid, but I thought "sticky" meant there was graphic or violent content within that particular thread. haha. Learning all the time-learning all the time. Scott
