    Logging your snake's weight, meals, etc.

    So what does everyone use to log their snakes weight, meals, poops, etc? Do you use plain pencil and paper, or something more complex?
    And finally, is there an app for that?

    I use 4x6 note cards, which I then transfer to an Excel spreadsheet whenever one fills up (updating all records when one card fills up, so I don't have as many to enter at one time).

    I made print out calendars and have them beside my tanks and write down what happens on that date. Pretty much as simple as that.

    I use iHerp and I also keep a clipboard with generic log papers I printed from a website somewhere for when we don't feel like getting on the computer.

    Re: Logging your snake's weight, meals, etc.

    I also use iherp, a notebook, and Vyper software to keep track of everything. I am a bit anal when it comes to keeping records. I know keeping this many records may seem a bit over the top, but I like to be prepared.

    I use a simple excel sheet with 3 categories:

    Eat - Date and prey weight/type
    Shed - the date they go pink and the day they shed - how many pieces? - eyes clear?
    Other - Weights, full cleanings, bathroom notes
