i have my own program on the computer that keeps a record of every snake feed and shed, the date of which either happend and so forth. its a good idea incase a snake becomes ill, or u sell it.

we keep a record of all feeding, shedding etc on a card system - which is attached via an envelope on the side of the enclosure. This seems to work well for us as it is handy at feending time

what is the point in keeping such records? I can understand with hatchlings, but apart from that why bother?
