I feel really stupid asking this question since been a member 8/2011. How do I interpret the decimal identification system, such as examples: Russian Tortoise 1.1.0., Redfoot 2.0.0, Hermans 1.1.0. ? Just really curious and what is the significance of this system? Thank you for all your help.

Means so many males, so many females, so many unknown. Sample, 2.3.1
2-males, 3-females, 1-unsexed(unknown). Don't feel stupid. A lot of us had to ask. And I still may have it wrong. It may be female first then male then unsexed. However I do think I got it right. I don't breed, so it's not something I keep solid in my memory. Figured I would never use it seeing I have one tort.

Don't worry. We've all been there and had to ask that question at some point. Now you know!

And knowing is half the battle!
