She IS a girl . . . isn't she?

[JodiLeigh]

It means that for each of three species we keep, none of them are unknown sex, we're confident that we have positively sexed them. I just leave the 0s because I think it is a more complete record. So, we have 3 female checkereds, a pair of Western Blacknecks, and a pair of Cuitzeos. A fine crop if ever there was one.

Ar ok, nice! I love the albino checkered garters, they are so beautiful. I'd love to buy one but no idea where from.

So if I were to do this mine would be: "1.0.0 - T. sirtalis parietalis called Maska" ?
And hopefully soon it could be:
1.0.0 - T. sirtalis parietalis called Maska
0.1.0 - T. marcianus called Mishka

?

You're getting the hang of this.
Albino Checkereds aren't terribly difficult to find. Blue Lizard reptiles had one last week, but they are over near Sheffield. Pinjohn may be able to point you at somewhere in the northwest as he's well acquainted with the shops around Liverpool (either that or he'll talk you out of an albino and into a normal checkered). If your local shops don't have one in stock I'm pretty sure they are on suppliers' stock lists most of the time, so could be ordered in. The other place to check is the Reptile Forum UK classified section, I've seen a handful of garters on there over the last few months, including a couple of albino checkered, obviously they may not be close enough to you to pick up but the classifieds are generally 50% cheaper than from a shop.

I don't know because the extra 0's are confusing me. I can tell you this: I have 1 female eastern garter and 1 male eastern garter ( T. s. sirtalis) so I write 1.1 T. s. sirtalis. And I have 1 male albino checkered garter, so I write 1.0 T. marcianus.

Well I guess how Chris' way works is he puts the quantity in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd place to display male(1st), female(2nd) or unknown(3rd)

everyone seemed to have explained it

male.female.unsure

it's a bit confusing at first.

Random question....
What do mean by "Ar" at the beginning of some of your posts? Is that a UK thing? Sorry I'm a bit out of the slang meanings.

HA HA it's not so much a UK thing, it's more of a Jodi thing. It's not really a word it's just what I say when I finally understand something, I suppose it should really be 'ah' but then people might think it's a typo of 'ha' and then I would appear crazy for laughing (and misspelling) all the time. Even my friends find it hard to understand my typing sometimes because I type it down how I think it in my head but then there's no pitch or tone difference to make it make sense.

If any of that makes sense, I hope that answers your question?
