    how do you keep track?

    Hey Forum,
    I want to start keeping track of when my BP's eat/produce excrement/shed ect, but I'm having trouble coming up with a format. I currently have multiple papers with little more than scribbles on them.

    I was wondering how you do it? Do you have a template? Is it like an invoice? I've never been much good at this type of thing- but I do believe it is important.

    If you could just post what you do, or even if you have an example post that! Thank You so much, once again!!!

    I just write it all in a notebook.

    The top contains the morph, sex, DOH, where i got the snake from, any additional info.

    Then i have a column for "Fed", "weight", and "Shed" I just date everything and right it under the column. I will write down what prey, they are fed on what day. Either p/k, live or f/t and what size the prey item is. I usually do a weigh in once a month for everyone to see progress on weight gain.

    Im not as high tech to have in on my computer maybe someday.
    Hope this helps!

    Don't have my examples on this computer, but I just use an excel file with a different column for each snake. If something happens (shed, feeding, refusal, tub cleaning, vet visit, shed assist, etc.) I date it and put it in

    My son started a little black book. No no not that kind! He records like his science fair projects. Daily logs and thoughts. We will get a spread sheet started soon.

    Re: how do you keep track?

    Something kind of like this, but nicer looking. Wasn't sure how to attach my spreadsheets to the reply.

    I used to do it a long time ago with Degei http://www.eyehit.com/degei/ however I no longer keep track of most of what I consider insignificant for my breeders, I only keep track of pairings, ovulation, pre-lay shed and egg laying because that's what matter to me.

    Now when it comes to hatchlings that I sell they come with complete feed record (a feed card showing the date and prey type)
