Hey people,

I notice alot of you guys list your T species and then next to it there is something like "0.0.1, 0.1.0".....and so on. What do those numbers mean?:? :? I can't figure it out...Sorry if this is a stupid or obvious question...i'm clueless here.:8o

male.female.unknown

1.2.3 = 1 male, 2 female, 3 unknown

 

[Slash]

so what does the zeros mean?

 

[Hamburglar]

a zero means you dont have any... 0.1.2 ... means you don't have any males...

 

[Slash]

a zero means you dont have any... 0.1.2 ... means you don't have any males...

OK say you have:

1.3.5. -G. rosea

...Would this mean you own 1 male rosehair, 3 females, and 5 unknowns?

 

[Talkenlate04]

Exactly. That is correct.

 

[Slash]

Hah...thanks guys. I knew this was gonna be obvious. :wall:

 

[Talkenlate04]

I felt the same way about it when I found out. I had a feeling it was going to be a big DUH
I could not find the answer anywhere on my own though, it was like searching for a ghost.

 

[cacoseraph]

it might seem obvious in retrospect... but it is a pain to search out the answer w/o asking someone, for sure.

Hmm... can't say that I've ever read that thread. I'll bet it also explains what slings and Ts are. Those both took me a day or two when I first joined.

Don't worry, anyone with Ts are cool.

Yeah, it's a numbering system that helps you when you have lots of tarantulas. When you have less then 5, you can easily remember the Ts, their sexes, etc.
