    I know there's a bunch of different programs that you can track, but I'm just too lazy to get on those lol. I don't like typing on the ipad/iphone :D. I don't like handwriting either, but I feel better writing it down and keeping a record in a binder that I'll constantly update :gj:

    Also, it's fun to keep it all in the order the way you want to! No empty spaces. No columns that I could care less about. No superfluous data required. And no UI to learn! That's why I'm curious to hear about what kind of information everyone else is tracking :gj:

    I use iHerp to keep track of feeding, sheds and weights. I also use the breeding section to keep track of pairings and copulations. I also put on there who I bought the snake from and when. If the seller provides me with it, I also enter in the hatch date. If I receive paperwork with a snake, I keep it in a file in my file cabinet.

    I find iHerp VERY user-friendly. VERY.

    I only wish they had a way to backup/download a copy of my tracking info, even if it was to an excel file so that in case something were to happen to their servers...I'd have a backup.

    Agreed. I may just start printing each tracking sheet monthly or so just in case

    Just got my first snake back in September and from day one I've been keeping track of weight shed feed and even if its gone #2 so I catch any problems and I can't second guess what day I actually fed her or not. It's all in a spreadsheet document written down by hand.

    Does anybody keep other reptile related paperwork? Similar to what I mentioned? Blue-prints? Pictures? Fun stuff like that?

    I have a journal I write feeding info, shedding info, and misc in. It makes a world of difference when you can't rememeber it. I'm sure I'll add breeding info to it when I get there. I should start adding pictures.
