Records

BlueLeo Oct 11, 2005 06:56 PM

Im just wondering how many of you keep good records of your reptiles? For example, if you have a baby you would want to record its growth. I keep records of what they eat, how much they get, how many they ate, their weight, and if they are a baby i measure them once a week to see if they are continually growing at a good rate. If any of you never thought of this i'm just presenting you with this idea. It is a very good way to keep track of your reptiles health and if you need to give the vet any information its neatly organized.

This is a great idea, for the vets, but also you may be able to head off any problems before they get to bad. I have been wanting to get a scale for some time now, still havn't though. Good idea though.

I don't record what they eat each day, but I do keep weight & length records. I weigh my adults every 2 weeks & my babies/juvies weekly.
