Feed Cards for whoever wants them. Printable

Well, Rick ( Tattoo Lost ) wanted feed cards. He pointed out one in particular in a photo, and so i took that idea, and added some more boxes for him. since he wanted a few more added on in one of the sections.

I figured id share, for anyone who might want feed cards, and is looking for them, but cant find them. ( and hates writing them out)

Feel free to take this. and print up as many as you want! Rick said i should post it. So i am!

Oh... some of the black lines didnt want to cooperate in photoshop. So. some are kinda lame and darker than others. I tried to fix it. but it didnt want to work. Ill try to clean it up tomorrow if noone likes them to be... off.

Anyone else got ideas that work for them?

This was a subject brought up in chat the other day.. Those of us that don't want to keep records on the computer.

So anyone else got Feeding Charts that they like to use?

oh, Here is the one I made. The top left corner is blank, to put a photo of the snake in. (about a 2x2 usually fits) I figured I would leave it blank in case someone wanted to use it.

I'm not that organized. I use 4X6 cards~ use one for a pic of the snake and any info on it~ use another for marking feed/sheds. I can usually get a couple years of feed/sheds on each little card.

geez woman, you write in 1. font? LOL

I have been using a notebook, and post it notes.. but its just such a mess, I wanted something neater..

as did a couple others, so we all been playing with some ideas

LOL~ No~ I don't write tiny......I'm lazy and don't want to write dates over and over! I have a little date stamp. On feeding day I set it to the current date. I have all these little cards hanging on the rack in front of the tub for the snake. I take down the card and drop in a rat. If the card is down I know there is a rat in that tub. Then I go back~ open the tub~ pull the rat if it's still in there~ clean the water dish~ scoop any poop and pull out any sheds. If the snake ate the rat I stamp the card with the date. If the snake did not eat there is no notation. If the snake was offered something other than a live small rat I make a note behind the date~ something like F/T or ASF or Mouse (for babies). But if there is JUST a date that means the snake ate a live small rat. If there was a shed in the tub I write that down too. Here is an example of a card I started recently~
It's for female 27 ~there is a sticker on her tub that says who she is, and there is a card in my file box with her name, her pic and all her pertinent info on it~ when this card gets full......and I usually use two or three columns front and back on a card......when it finally gets full I file it behind her ID card in my little box.

This card tells me I started the card on Aug 8, 2008. I weighed her that month and put a wieght down. She shed Aug 11th. Ate a few more times and then went off feed for a couple months. Looks like she is back to feeding now~ but I didn't see any breeding from her (I would have marked it on the card) or an ovulation (would have marked it) so I'm hoping it was just a short winter fast and not a breeding fast she was on.

See~ easy for a lazy person

Thats how the card i made looks when i fill it out. I might add in the extra lines at the top for myself. Well see if i actually use them.

For those of you who might be interested in keeping an online record as well (incase something ever happened where the cards were lost, or what have you) I was suggested not long ago this wonderfull website!
