Anyone use HerperPRO?

Okay so i wasn't sure where this would go so i figured General herp would be okay... lol.. Anyway I'm using HerperPRO and its great. But because I'm New to this. And new to owning BPs.

What is a Reptile ID? And do i make it or are they born with an ID number? Or does it go by there morph/breed? And is an ID important for the reptile?

I feel stupid for even asking this lol But i figured i should find out from more experienced owners.

So if someone can explain it to me that would be great. Lol Thank you very much! xD

I use it and love it.

You can make you own ID's

I generally use:

YEAR OF BIRTH (YY) MORPH IN ALPHA ORDER (MMMMMM...) GENDER #

ie. [2012] [Butter/Spider] [Female] [the second one i have hatched that year]: 12BUSPF02

THe way I've been doing it is

Sex year morph number

So

F13PIED001 OR F13ALBSPID001 OR FOR HETS I DO M12CINNIH.A001 OS THATS A MALE CINNI 2012 hET aLBINO

i like that ricky, definately going in and seeing how it looks.

I organize my hatchlings by year, clutch #, morph, sex and number.

So 2013 Clutch 1 Butter male #1 reads 13C1_BTR_M1.

Now the number at the end is in corellation to morph and sex for the season not the clutch.

This year as an example I produced 2 male Butters in Clutch #1
13C1_BTR_M1 and 13C1_BTR_M2.

Also had a male Butter in Clutch #5

13C5_BTR_M3

That's just an example of how I organize and label my little ones.

Also I use Herper Pro and think it's great except for the European date format Year/Month/Day as opposed to the American standard Month/Day/Year.

Okay so here is another question.

Lets say i have Two normal BPs right. And they come from the same Clutch. (Though im not a breeder yet. Im curious lol)

Lets say its Clutch #4.
[year][Gender][Morph/Normal][#]
Would it go.
13FNORM01 and for the male go 13MNORM01 or 02? because its the Second in th clutch but also the first male thats counted? i hope that makes some kind of sense. . .

Or heres another one. I have two Normals Right now. From two diff places that i bought them. Would the Female Be 13FNORM01 and Same with the male. Or would i just put a 2 for the male to show that i have 2Normals? I don't want to get them mixed up and think that they where in the same clutch or something. Ya know? So what would be a Good way to sort them? etc..

Thank you for your time. and sorry for the stupid questions. But hey im learning. hehe :snake:

Its however you want it to go. For my records each snake has 4 pages. First is information (species, I.D. number, sex, morph, date of birth, date of purchase, weight when aquired, seller info, and a note section), second is feeding, shedding and weight, third is breeding records (which I havent been able to use yet), and fourth is medical records. So all my I.D. number consists of is species, sex, number. So ball python male 1 is BPM01.

For me gender comes first so if I hatched out 2 males and 2 females I would have BPM02, BPM03, BPF02, and BPF03. The way I do it I would start the babies of either sex at number 2 since the sire and dam would have the numbers 1 for their gender.

Neat program, just too much stuff that is useless to me. I track meal & dates. Then I track shed dates & weight after shed. I use cards that I have made and keep in a small mini binder. Works best that way and when I sell the snake the card goes with the snake so the owner has everything.
