Hi Rob,



The graph, I have to say, is a very much simplified version of one out of many that I maintain on each of my five snakes. I record for each a history of growth (length), weight (grams/lb), feeding frequency and meal size (grams/lb), and shedding frequency. I also include notes on their health, condition of shed, and d.o.b/h. For financial analysis I also record costs of feeding and housing each.



I keep all the data in one Excel spreadsheet; which is remarkably small considering how much data and formatting I put into it.



In the end it's all just for fun I guess, as I don't really use the information for anything more than entertaining myself. Though it does serve a good purpose otherwise, in helping me to setup feeding regiments, and anticipating sheds, etc.



As for my burm - he has been eating about once every three weeks now; which sounds about right according to your message.



Thanks very much,

- Mark





>>looks like you are doing everything right; just stick with what you are doing....and man is that graph impressive!...even for a college prof and curator like myself (nice job)....let me know how you do it as I am still your basic computer idiot. Just continue to up the poundage very gradually and always err on the side of not overdoing it. Remember, as your burm ages, the size of the prey will increase but the frequency of feedings will decrease (once or twice a month is more than ample). Great looking lab. burm! Rob Carmichael
