    How do you keep track of your balls?

    As the title says... What's your method?
    I use 2 different ways to document everything. I use iHerp and my own excel spreadsheet that I printed off and keep in a binder and fill it out with a pen. The iHerp is for convenience and the records in the notebook are just in case something ever happens to iHerp. Plus, I just like keeping paper records.
    I have a page for each of my snakes, and I just have to fill out the date and what they ate, what they refused, if they defecated, if they shed, their weight, or any other notes or info. Here is a screenshot of my sheet for Paxton, my ghost boy: http://i49.tinypic.com/3168zno.png
    I would love to see screenshots of what you all use!

    How do you keep track of your balls?
    Am I the only person who sees the opportunity for some dirty humor with a title like that?

    To answer your question, I use an excel spreadsheet, with about 5 columns per animal. The first is the date, the second is the name of the animal, the third is the event and the fourth and fifth are notes. For example, today, I have on that reads.

    I use excel too but I print off a spread sheet for each snake to track everything: date hatched, weight when I received the snake, who produced it, meals, shed dates, recent weights. You name it I note it.

    I guess I'm missing out on something. A shed isn't the length of the snake? it actually stretches that much?

    I did use excel a couple years ago but I quit because making notes in cells threw my spreadsheets off. Hatchlings get index cards that are passed on to buyers, my breeder info is in a binder
    'Tics, burms, balls, and geckos. A bunch of them.
