What do the number designations mean in the signature?

[biochemnerd808]

I've noticed that folks on here often have numbers in their signature, e.g.
Russian torts 2.4.0 - what does this mean?

I just adopted 2 more female RTs, and figure that those numbers PROBABLY mean male/female/babies, but which is which?

Thanks! (I'm not a n00b to tortoises, but apparently I AM a n00b to tort-forum-lingo...)

They posted a thread on this before so may not get very many responses. But if I remember correctly its male/female/unkown (for hatchlings) and occassionally you will see a 4th that is for eggs.
Hope that helps

Yes, that is correct. Except, not just for hatchlings, for all your torts, even adults.

AHa! Thank you! I'll edit my signature accordingly.
