Being relatively new to snake keeping(4months)yesterday my corn snake shed his skin.
Being a good boy I entered this in my record book but to do this I had to start a new page and I thought to my self flippin' heck that's gone quick and this got me to thinking ,who on this forum has the longest record book on a particular snake and how far back does it go?

| Hey, hadn't thought of keeping a proper record book...may have to start ;-) One thing that I do plan to do though is to create a folder and laminate all of AURYNS sheds, just to preserve them and look back and see growth...I guess this would be the best way to preserve the sheds? |

I had six full 5ft sheds pinned to the wall. Eventually I realised that this was not going to be a viable commercial proposition for designer footwear as it was going to take another 12 months for the left shoe so I binned the lot. 
I do use a page to a month calendar to track feeding, shedding and fasting. Nothing fancy, just 1x mouse, shed # and tally the non feeding weeks. |

| i've got a little book for each snake (approx 10cm x 5cm) little notepad thing really, and just write in when the date they fed and how much, if they refused anything, the date they go into blue (if i notice, purely for my own memory) and the date they shed. If i weigh or measure them i also write that in too, and i've written in the dates i've moved into bigger viv/fauns, so if theres any non feeding after, i can think that could be a possible cause, my personal thoughts are yes i'm probably writing too much down, but is it hurting anyone - no, i've a terrible memory so writing it down is the best way, i think anyways |

All mine have a little notebook. Includes their name, species/morph, age, sex, date, place and cost of purchase, and also their weight and length when I first got them. Then after that initial indexing I log their weekly feeds, sheds and anything 'out of the ordinary', such as aggressive behaviour. I also do weights and measures at the first feed of the month. I personally don't log their toilet habits, but some people do and I'm thinking of doing it at least for a few weeks.
Anyway, after all that, I just realised the question was simply how long is your record back. Well, it's about 8 inches...  Oh, you didn't mean that? Well I've only had snakes coming up 4 months, so not very long...
Hmmm... Answering a question that wasn't asked and then having an answer that doesn't justify a response. And then waffling on about it. Think I'm just going to crawl back under my rock now. Or perhaps given what forum this is, back into my hide. Nite nite...
