Sometimes I don't post as I don't have the experience to help, occasionally its because I don't know whats being talked about and don't want to appear 'stupid'

From lurking I learn, I have learnt that 1.0 means 1 male 0 females (I hope thats what it means) I think I have learnt that het is something to do with genetics and whether a snake carries a gene for a particular colour etc (still not sure and considering starting a thread to confirm it).

I have definitely started posting more now and will continue to do so
Hey T newb ,

Its the decimal point....as in 1.2.03

The number before the decimal point means the number of males ONE, 1.

The number after the decimal point means females, TWO .2

The number in tenths means that the sex is unknown,usually referring to baby's that are too young to sex. .03

Hope that helps.
