Default Newbie Question

Ok, I feel igorant.

In everyone's sigs I keep seeing "0.0.1 boa." What do those numbers mean? I'm guessing it's the sex of the animal, but then why have the 3rd number?

Will someone please enlighten me??

Christina

Ok, thanks! Sorry, I didn't know it had already been asked. The mods can close this thread if they want. But, yeah, that is really good to know!

Thanks again.

It can get confusing some people sometimes put it as female.male.unknown
