Some people keep a chart or something of when there snake eats, sheds etc. What is it? Whats it about? What should it be about/have in it? Why do you do it?
I keep records of when all my snakes eat and what size of prey and make notes on how it was taken, if strike or left in viv etc. Why? It helps me keep track of rountine. and feeding patterns. I can look at the records and see that Freyja is now over 245g because she has not refused food in the last 2months were as her sister is a lot lighter as she has only eating 4times in the last 2months. i also then keep records of their size, weights and when they first start to show signs of shed and when the shed is complete. When you have more than one snake its just easier to keep track of things. I also buy food items in bulk, so I can look at this and see what i need to get.
Me too, the girls each have a book where I keep notes of feeds, sheds, and poos. I don't record weight at the moment but will if either of them stop eating for more than a few weeks. Not likely with Feather!
I just write mine on a piece of A4 (its stuck to the side of the vivs with bluetack) the guides generally help when you have more than 1 snake so that you can remember how they are going.
Same as Piers (BlackEcho). Excel. I find it easier as I'm an accountant and use excel in my sleep! HAHA. Doesn't have to be pretty (or it can be). I've incorperated my two snakes & brother's onto one workbook.
