Looking through the classifieds/ads for snakes for sale, often times people describe their snakes as being 1.1 or 2.1- what does that mean?
I've looked at different pics of the same species- the only differnece being that numerical difference.
Can anybody shed some light?
I've attached an example URL...
Thanks!

2.1 NJ NORTHERN PINESNAKE-nice-$80-PICS
This is a very common question here.
The numbers refer to the sexes of the snakes (or any other animals for that matter). They are written as number of males- period-number of females-period-number of unknown gender.
So if you had a male cornsnake you could write
1.0 cornsnakes
A lone female would be
0.1 cornsnake
a breeding trio would be
1.2 cornsnakes
and if they had eleven offspring that you hadn't sexed you could say you have
1.2.11 cornsnakes

I did a search before posting, and didn't come up with anything.
Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend!
