I personally put female then male. The reason being because that’s how my friends and breeding mentors have showed me that they do it. I do have two of the people that I talk to about breeding, though they’re not on here, they do it the other way, male than female, but I feel that’s not the norm.

The reason I decided to do it that way is because I feel like it is the female’s enclosure, the female is for me, denoting the pairing because the male might be bred to multiple females, and the female is giving me the babies.

I mean also, I guess it plays into it but I also label female names first when I talk or write about people, now that I look at it. I always say…Rylee and Riley when I sign things from Us…hmm, maybe a respect thing and an intentional way to show equality between her and I. I mean that is what I think.

I know that it tends goes dominant genes (incom/complete), recessive genes, hets, pos hets. If there is a possible gene that isn’t identified (like genes in BELs) then that usually gets thrown on at the very end but some people don’t.

But anything other than that tends to be personal preference. If you have a snake with clown, spider, pastel, het pied, OD, and pos het DG you can format it however you want.

Both formats below are used interchangeably depending on personal preference

  • Spider pastel OD clown het pied pos het DG
  • OD pastel spider clown het pied pos het DG
    I just go off of what sounds better in my head
