New Blog and Number Explanation

I'll be slowly switching off from Snakes n' Barrels to do all my blogging over here. It'll be more convenient for me. It'll still be mainly snake based (as I'm mainly snake obsessed) but sometimes my other critters have to get in on the act as well.
I'm calling this blog Crimson Ark Exotics because if I ever get into the business of breeding and selling herptiles, that would be the name of my company. Fair and simple, don't you think?
(Before anyone says it, yes, herptiles is an actual word. It's a noun to encompass both reptiles and amphibians.)

First of all, if you look to the right of the page you will see a list of the animals I currently own. I'm quite sure the numbers are a bit confusing at first glance for some of you. Let me explain: This is how an exotics breeder sorts out their animals by gender.
For example, I have 1.1.0 Red-Eared Sliders. This simply means I have one male, one female, and zero unsexed Red-Eared Sliders. If you met someone with 2.3.1 Leopard Geckos, they would have two males, three females, and one that's unsexed. It's not too baffling once explained.

Anyways, I hope that you enjoy the things to come with this blog, and I hope that I can actually keep it updated. Thank you for reading! Over and out~
