Don't feel bad Lori, I also asked the same question, and we all had to start somewhere
The first number is male, the second is female, and a third is unknown
As an example, 2.1.1 would be 2 males, 1 female and 1 unknown sex
Hope that helps

Mike

That's right, 4 babies. The 1.1 stands for my pair of adult ribbon snakes.

Lori, never be shy about asking questions, even if you feel they're very basic. We're all friends here, so no one will think any the less of you because you lack a certain piece of knowledge. No one knows everything.
