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.

It comes in handy. Specially for feeding. I know who not to feed after a molt or who hasnt eaten in some time.

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.
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 started out with the orignal 6. Then 5 when one died some how. I'm used to it with data logging my snakes.

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 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.

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 incase

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.
