i just added a list of my babies for my signature and i wanna make sure i did it correctly.

1.0.0 is one male
0.1.0 is one female
0.0.1 is one unsexed

is this correct? im also hoping the scientific names are correct.

thank you

my babies:
0.1.0 Epicrates cenchria cenchria (brazilian rainbow boa)
0.0.1 Lampropeltis Getula Floridana (florida kingsnake)
0.1.0 Hydrodynastes gigas (false water cobra)
0.0.1 Grammostola rosea (rose-hair)
0.0.1 Grammostola aureostriata (choco gold knee)

Pretty correct -

Lampropeltis Getula Floridana

Convention is that only the genus (Lampropeltis) be capitalized.
Species and subspecies start lower case.

Also convention is that latin names are italicized - but that generally only matters when they appear in text with other stuff.

Usually if the number of unsexed is 0 you just leave it off.

IE -

3.4.0 Sceloporus occidentalis

would usually just be written

3.4 Sceloporus occidentalis

1.0 Thamnophis sirtalis fitchi
1.0 Boa constrictor constrictor (suriname, fostering/rescue)
3.3 Elgaria multicarinata multicarinata
