Over fed..oopppsss

So my book keeping skills arent that great....I'm a stay at home mom....my mind is bound to give on occasion...thank god no one is dead yet is all I say.
But I have this chart I keep everyone's information on: Feedings, Cleanings, Sheds etc. Well I forget sometimes to write these things down and forgot I fed Rajiv last night...well tonight I throw a rat in there and he eats it...and then I realize I have one small rat and 2 hungry snakes...first thought "One rat got out" lol....Second though "Oh god...he didnt just eat ANOTHER small rat"
So now I have one stuffed snake...2 hungry snakes....and one small rat....fantastic. Wonder what the odds of him a) regurging or b) fasting are.....

I need to get those little charts and put them right on the stinking tubs...who has these and where can I get them...really where can I get the clear covers for them.....I can make my own index sized info charts.

just dont feed him for the next one or two feedings. he'll be fine. the hungry snake/s will be fine also.

I would also like to know where you can buy the clear sleeves for index cards.

cut the last rat in half.. long ways!! kidding!

You can get those ruled small card stock things from any office supply store (for recipes, etc.) to keep notes or you can use something like www.degei.com which is a great way to quickly note who was fed, who refused, who pooped last, sheds, etc. I love my degei (and it's free to try).

I use a little notebook for each snake. I record dates for feedings, sheds, poo, pee, urates and weights. For a small collection it works great.

you dont HAVE to skip a meal, just cuz you doubled this one.

How big were the rats he ate? how big is he?

What size snake is it ?

I bet it will be fine :)

He is about 3 foot...now I havent weighed him in awhile so I couldnt tell you his weight.....I dont like feeding him small rats....but being that Petco doesnt have any "small smalls" I was doing it, then I found that crappy pet store I told everyone about and found some smaller then small rats there....of coarse he took the small small and then ate a plain ol small rat.....well if he wasnt hungry he would of taken it right?

I will offer him food next week..he's a growing boy after all lol.

Also, I looked on OfficeDepot.com and couldnt find those card covers...I dont really know what to call them so I think I typed in "index car cover" or something along those lines...didnt find what I was looking for though :(

It might help if you typed in index CARD holders,i do not think a CAR holder will help ya.Incase someone wonders i am not making fun of her spelling,just giving her a hard time :D .Like she does me :( :D

well ya know..I was also looking for a clear plastic car cover......*slaps you* :sabduel:

how about the report covers you can get for kids in school and just cut it to size? use some tape to close up the open side and VOILA inexpensive plastic covers made to the size you want ;)

i would not disturb him for a couple days. give him a little more time to digest the extra large meal

i am just about OCD about keeping records. i made a 1 year calendar with pix of snakes on it, and i record in diffrent colors everytime something happens. shed, poop, eat, etc. i also record length on there. I printed 2 out, and have them in front of each of my cages.
and for my RTB, scince i didnt know much about them i made a binder, with the calendar, and with a whole bunch of Info., Q&A etc on them.

I love the method with the binder. its super helpful.

Wheres the love:( :8: :P .You also have a pm on its way

hey audone


just feed him on schedule, like you said hes a growing boy....

If anyone wanted to know Rajiv ate tonight, I was wondering if he would being I had a total brain fart and fed him 2 nights in a row last week...but yes he ate.

I'm lucky to get mine to eat twice a month! He won't eat 3 weeks before shedding and he seems to shed every 4-5 weeks. So I'm happy when he eats once a month!

I have one like that to! And Balou (our lemon pastel male) has also been playing with his food....he looks at the rat..follows it around the tub but wont even make a move as far as eating it goes...who knows.
We have had Tiombe (the female who hardly ever eats) since late August I believe and she has eaten 2 times..once on 9/26 and again on 10/01..then of coarse she shed today and wont eat..Scout we got at the same time and he has eaten 3 times...Willow we got about.....3 weeks after those 2 and she has eaten 5 times for us!! Who knows....welcome to the bp world hu?

Yup just gotta love those little weirdos when it comes to not wanting to eat.
