Record every thing you do and on what day for that animal; e.g. bm, urine, shed, feed, weight. That way when you forget what Bp did what on what day, you have a reference.
Yeah, switching to f/t isn't that hard. I have a female who ate live when I bought her and it was pretty easy to get her to switch. Just make sure it's warm, I put mine in warm water, and you may need to wiggle it a little. Make sure you have feeding tongs, or you'll probably get bit. As for managing multiple BPs, I keep track of everything in a spreadsheet, but I'm also a computer geek so that makes sense. . As long as you keep track of everything you shouldn't have too much trouble. I don't think people with very large collections handle them everyday. I think with some of the big breeders the snakes only get handled during cage cleaning.
