Default Recording data on Reptiles

Hi

Just want to know what the genral opinion people have about recording their reptiles temps, feeding, shedding. Do you bother or have you got so many that you have to, to keep on top of things?

I have made a template on xls but don't know how to post it, wasn't too difficult to put together, but it can be modified to suit individuals and the groundwork is done.

Anyone want to have a copy sent to them just pm me their email address.

I like to keep track of when they do and don't feed plus shed dates but apart from that I don't keep any details. Thinking about starting to record more info tho

I record the date and what each snake feeds, and the size of food - for youngsters I weigh the food and record that. Also if it refuses that gets marked, hatchlings whether it was defrost, prekill, live, scented, forcefed etc.

I also record the date each snake sloughs, and it's weight after slough.

For breeding I'll also take a note of when I caught them breeding, ovulation, date eggs were laid.

I record this on a card on each box for hatchlings, for the others I record it in an Excel spreadsheet.

pretty much same as above,
keep records of feeds and sheds in an Excel deocument,
also keep a note of any problem e.g regurge, shed problems.

Also check temps every day :)
Think its a very good idea, especially in knowing if there is any ongoing problems with your reptile.
