How do you keep track??

I wanted to take a poll to see how everyone with larger collections keeps track of the activities of their individual snakes?
I use a spreadsheet with a different tab for each snake. I record feeding, sheds and any breeding activity as a new row in the spreadsheet. As my collection grows this is becoming more cumbersome to manage. It is especially difficult for me to see at at glance who needs to be fed any given day.
Is there a better way? What works for you?
Thanks,
Ken

I use iHerp: http://www.iherp.com

and a database program called Filemaker Pro

I designed my own record sheets on PowerPoint. Of course, I don't breed, so I have less stuff to keep track of.

For the breeders I only keep track of female breeding activities (Ovy, Pre-lay, egg laying) for hatchlings that are being sold I keep feeding records.

I use iherp.com also, not sure if mine is considered a large collection though.

I'm oldschool....I have a journal for each snake...I only have 4 though.

Ive got 4 snakes so far, and iherp.com is serving me well. Might have to develop a new method though once I get more

I use Vyper. I record activities on the cage cards, and then sit and put them into the computer when they're full.

IHerp.com, but I only have 4 BP's...

we are trying to figure out the best method as well. we started out on a regular ole columnar pad you can get at walmart or or any office supply. we have also started a spread sheet but thanks to your post we will be checking out iherp.com. the columnar pad has done us great so far. its a good hard copy. we now have 8 BP's.
