does anyone else compile data on their Ts?
Like where they came from,size,molts,feedings,rehousing,etc?

It comes in handy. Specially for feeding. I know who not to feed after a molt or who hasnt eaten in some time.Yes, all my Ts have a sheet with who I bought from, date, what instar when they came if I know it and their moults. I also have sheets with all the Ts on that I can put feed dates on so I don't miss anyone.
I'm currently have 15 and a so-so memory,haha.It doesn't matter too much if you only have a few Ts but when you have a lot plus a bad memory (old age) it becomes a necessity.
I have yet to dabble in mating. But if i do. It will document. Lol.I note where it came from, molt, mating, and egg sac and hatch dates only.
In retrospect, knowing when and what size the T was when acquired would becuseful. Didn't need to when my collection was small, but it ballooned and I didn't change. However, slings that I've produced get dates of birth.I have yet to dabble in mating. But if i do. It will document. Lol.
I started out with the orignal 6. Then 5 when one died some how. I'm used to it with data logging my snakes.In retrospect, knowing when and what size the T was when acquired would becuseful.

So you have a useful system. Minimizes a lot of uncertainties and potential problems. New T owners often not aware if the advantages of keeping relevant records.I started out with the orignal 6. Then 5 when one died some how. I'm used to it with data logging my snakes.
Eating records are mainly to see if there any health concerns. Some of the Ts I own fast some will eat until the day or two before molting. I just like keepin track of that just incaseSo you have a useful system. Minimizes a lot of uncertainties and potential problems.

Is that Paul Beckers app?I use the tarantula app. i never remember to write anything down, but i can easily scroll through options on my phone to record molts, feedings, etc.
For android only so far i believe.
Only bad part is there's now export for the data, unless they've added that in an update since I looked last.
It might have been originally. The post on AB the about section in the app points to is by Tisha. She said she took a free app from google play and made it better.Is that Paul Beckers app?
it's a differnt app then what i thought. I cant use it since I have an Iphone. Cool concept thoIt might have been originally. The post on AB the about section in the app points to is by Tisha. She said she took a free app from google play and made it better.

Exactly. I really kicked it in gear after lossing the First Suntiger.So you have a useful system. Minimizes a lot of uncertainties and potential problems. New T owners often not aware if the advantages of keeping relevant records.
Yeah that's what got me started doing them. Logging data of my snakes. Just felt like a normal thing to do.I have kept records and feeding logs, for over a decade, for all of my reptiles.
This led me to, naturally, keep logs, for my Ts, as well.
