What do the numbers like 1.3.8 mean when someone is talking about their animals?
[Darrell Senneke] These numbers are a naming notation used to indicate the make up of a population of one species. The first number denotes total males in the group, the second number denotes total females and the third total unsexed young. If I were to say that I had 1.3.8 Testudo ibera it would indicate that I had one male, three females and 8 young that I did not know the sex of.
