i have loved snakes my whole life and now that im 22 i got my frist one. its a king snake. since im graduating college soon and will be getting my own place i was looking to get at least one more in a few months. i was looking to get a larger one, but not too big anyways i was lookin at the classifieds and was noticing all of these numbers and terms that i dont understand. like het and 1.1, 1.0, 6.0 just to list a few. i dont expect someone to explain all of these breeding terms with me i was just wondering if there was another web site i could visit cause ive seriously spent at least 100 hours on kingsnake.com and havent gotten the whole picture

male.female.unknown

For example, I have 1.0.0 colombian boa, meaning I have 1 male colombian boas. I also have 0.0.6 goldfish, meaning I have 6 unknown gender goldfish.

Here's a link for basic genetics if you'd like to know about all that Het business -
