Record keeping
Just curious as to what records you all (and especially Martin!) keep on your inverts?
Martin just mentioned that he knew exactly which of his incei females was the mother of his new brood. I was surprised, considering his collection is so large!
For myself, I have a little calender just for the animals I have. I jot down in blue what is fed to the lizards, the snakes in green, and inverts in red. I feed all the spiders at once, and just mark an S on that date. I record if a spider molts in the column at the side. Refusals to eat are not often, and I don't record it. I can just remember which spider did not eat, and then I don't try feeding again until it has molted. Water is always misted, regardless.
So, I'm very curious, what records do other people keep?
