Sometimes you'll see 0.0.1 that third number is for any unsexed individuals. You have a male and female pair, it's 1.1. You have a female 0.1 (or .1) or a male 1.0, or the unknown gender 0.0.1. Sometimes you see someone selling a litter and they'll use higher quantities in case someone wants a trio or more, for instance a litter of 16 males and 18 females would be represented as 16.18
I don't remember how I figured it out, but I think I spent too much time reading ads for snakes I couldn't buy and eventually it helped me put two and two together. ;p
Definitely not a stupid question, very important I think!
