    Tracking

    How does everyone track their ball pythons weight, feeding, shed, breeding? I would like an easy to use app and I know about reptile scan, however it only has a 2 star rating in the apple App Store. I am skeptical of spending $25 on an app that may or may not work. Any suggestions?

    I use cards that I have a design for in excel. I keep them in a binder, but I don't keep track of weights or sheds. I have an option though if I want to.

    Reptile Scan here. Regardless of the star rating, it has always worked for me (knocks on wood).

    Edit, I use it on Android, not apple so it may be worse on apple products, I cant say.

    Re: Tracking

    I just use Google Sheets.. I have a file for my pets (snakes, leopard gecko, and dog) that I track the relevant info. Each one has it's own tab.

    I have a chunk of info at the top (name, species, morph, purchase price, DOB, purchase date, breeder info, etc.)

    And then a chart beneat that as columns for date of info, feeder type and weight, shed status, place to mark full tank clean (in case some sort of cleaner or residue causes an issue or to mark mite treatment/preventative), weight, length estimated thru serpwidgets.com, and a comments field that I use to track moodiness/personality, comment on any measurements, and mark the brand the feeder came from.

    Very thorough, and maybe a bit overkill, but it should put me in a good place if I ever hit an issue requiring vet attention or anything like that.

    Usable anywhere you can log in to a Google account and updates between desktop and mobile seamlessly.

    If anyone wanted, I could probably make a template and share the link to it so folks could download a copy to use for themselves.
