HEHEHE, I laugh because I do the same thing.(though not for 14yrs yet!) A friend does too and when we swapped a couple snakes I said we needed to get togther on the size of the cards...he uses 3X5 and I use 4X6.
I number the cards as I go on to the next for each animal. Keep current ones out and 'archive' the rest. Easiest for me to scan through them and find who is doing what when and who might be hungry etc. I can then set aside or turn sideways the cards of the beasties I have to deal with that day. Simple.
