Numbers

Nobody wants to waste a few seconds of time writing out, " I have 3 male sand boas, 6 females, and 2 that im not sure of the sex." You could just write " I have 3.6.2 sand boas" These numbers are often used when describing collections, or a large group of snakes are being sold. For people who do not understand, this can be confusing. The first number represents the number of males, 1.0 would be one male. The second number represent females, 1.1 would be one male and one female. There does not have to be a third zero if there are no unsexed animals, but if there are, a third number must be added. So as an example, 2.6.1 would be two males, six females, and one unsexed. 2.6 would be 2 males and two females, but because there is no third number, there are no unsexed snakes.
