What all do you keep track of?

[Bettacreek]

With the balls, I received feeding charts, all had dates of shedding, feeding (and what was fed) and hatch dates. My male also came with a hatch weight. Anyways, purely out of curiosity, what does everyone keep records of? I'm hoping to keep track of shedding and meals as well as when the snakes poop and their weight the day of poop. Does this sound ridiculous or am I missing anything?

I use a record card I made myself based off a picture Ralph Davis has on his site. Here's a shot of one:



I used to keep track of sheds, poops, and feeding. But once the collection topped 30 snakes, I pretty much only kept track of feeding. Of course as the breeding season begins I will document alot more activity and keep track of my females sheds.

I keep track of poos, sheds, feedings (what size and if eaten or refused), and weight (after a poo).
I also make a notation of anything that it noteworthy!!

Could someone post a template of a card they use? I would love one!

i dont even go that far, i just write down when they go opaque, shed, eat or refuse a meal, and weight every few weeks. that's about it. should i be recording poos and weighing afterwards?

[PigsnPythons]

I use an excel spreadsheet, to keep track of when they shed, what they ate, when they ate, how many days had it been since they ate last, how much they weighed right before they ate, how much weight they gained since their last meal, and poops. I also document breeding activity.

That may seem like a lot, but I really like to have good records. And because its on excel all of those day calculations are done automatically.

I use Degei, and keep track of feeder size, if they ate, what the ate, if it was scented (mostly for the hoggies), weight, breeding, egg laying, geneology, sales, vendors, etc.... Everything is just point and click, so it is way easy.

I keep track of what they ate, when they ate, what size prey they ate, weight, shed, poop, cleaning, etc all via Iherp.

I keep up with feeds, and I weigh every two months. When breeding I keep up with copulations, feeds, sheds ect.

[Stewart_Reptiles]

I keep up with

Poop - Shed - Feeding - Pairing - Copulation

and the extras for females are ovulation - pre-lay shed - egg laying.
