Well I got more slings as the first batch got bigger (didn't take long old world baboons, except the King of course..LOL) and repeat a few more times in a year again and I now have a modest sum of T's standing at 26 babies, juvies, and a few sub /adults. I kept writing down when so and so ate and so and so molted till the paper work was starting to take the fun out of it, at least for me. Now, my schedule consist of the following parameters: Is it my day off (work 12hrs, schedule! Most days worked in a row is 3), are my T's visible and been out and about, and are abdomens fat and shiny! I'm off, T's out, and not fat and shiny T gets a shot at a meal!!!  Trying to always keep up with who, what, when and where eating wise took a lot of the fun away so I made it simple and much happier doing so!!! Still write my molt dates down as that does bring feeding to a standstill for the appropriate time span or until T eats. Have a Blessed T filled day.</p></blockquote><p></p>
