What do the numbers mean? (Sid?)

I noticed in Sid's sig and a few others that they have numbers like this "7.5 T. s sirtalis- Eastern Garter". What does that number mean?

Just curious ;o)

those corrispond to the sex. so 2.3 is two males and three females.
As in real life, the man goes first!
or "the wife is always right" if you prefer!

Abbreviations run rampant in the reptile lingo. Most assume every one knows but if ya never ask you may not find out. Anytime I see a short form I dont know, its askin time. I never know, it might be a joke at my expense!!

Years ago, when I first saw these numbers in use, I was very confused for quite a while by the third number (1.1.1)......Never had the nerve to ask anyone! Shows how stupid I am! (or was?)
