Is he too small?

And just for giggles, here's a very out of focus picture of her at 1400 grams.

Oh wow, so she gained pretty well it seems. I'm starting to feel better, maybe mine is just a little guy. All the snakes she had posted looked healthy and had varying weights so I am betting he was just a smaller hatchling. :) I think I will keep track of his feedings and weight now though, that was a good log!

Okay good. Hopefully he will be a good eater like most the spiders I have heard about. ;)

It's actually just Microsoft Excel, if you have that program I can email you the template if you want to pm me with your email address (or anyone else who is interested as well!). It's really nothing special, but it gets the job done. The initial plan was to take a picture after their first shed of the year and mid year so I could see how their colors changed over time, but I got a bit lazy with it. I plan to get everyone's records back up to snuff in 2017 since I've had to start keeping records on my newbies again.

She is beautiful! I love her dark colors.

And nice system of tracking things. I too stopped taking such meticulous notes for a while but it was getting tedious. I like your spreadsheet a lot though, that's a great idea
