I also plan on doing this with my new BCI! I didn't have records for ball python or BCI growing up (I didn't start recording lengths and feedings on my BCI until the following year after I got him and I didn't record weights for anyone until 2014), so I'm trying to keep track of all the ones I got after that. :) I only keep track of sheds, weight, and feedings, though. And length if the snake cooperates.

It will be cool to use what records I do have of my BCI and such in-depth records like your's and comparing it to her growth. I don't see this shown a lot, so thanks for posting!
