    Record Keeping?

    What do yall use for record keeping? Currently I'm using iHerp, but I wanted to get something with more options and possibly a code 39 or QR scanner. I looked into Reptile Scan but I don't really care for it. I came across one called HerperPro. Anyone heard of that one or used it?

    I use good old index cards. Keeps everything I need on them in one neat place. I purchased reptile scan, I use it along with index cards. I really like reptile scan, but there are a few things I do not like. Overall it is a very good reptile keeping app for a decent price.

    Microsoft spreadsheets and a grease pen on the tubs. Works fine for me.

    I make a spreadsheet in Openoffice and print that out.

    I currently use iherp. I'm keeping a close eye on Vyp3rz though, I've heard great things about the old version and they are finally rereleasing it. Beta starts on the 25th I believe. Very interested in seeing what they've improved / added!

    Used to use printed spreadsheets, until it got annoying keeping up with printing new ones. Switched to a Google Document, that way multiple people can access it easily and it won't get accidentally lost. I have checked out iHerp before, but never found it interesting enough to bother switching (that being said I have never really looked into it very hard) and IMO its not worth buying a program when a spreadsheet can do all I need it to do.

    I use card stock and a binder. I am old fashioned and prefer a hard copy that I can touch vs something online. They are three pages, one with basic information, feeding/weight chart and then shedding/potty. So far so good. Before I was just keeping them on collage ruled line paper. I could write whatever I wanted. This is something I found online somewhere and I modified it to better suit my wants.
