I use FileMaker Pro for my custom database... the version of FileMaker Pro that I am using doesn't have native support for QR codes (but I'm fairly certain that the newest version does) so I actually wrote an app for my iPhone to access the database off my server and assign a QR code to each animal. If there is enough interest I can look into getting the app onto the app store.

I'm sure that there are other ways to incorporate QR codes. I already had the FileMaker Pro database set up before I started using QR codes so I just went with it.

It would be cool to make QR codes that link to IHerp tracking. That seems to be very popular, but I don't think they have a phone ap yet?

Right now I do all my tracking on an excel spreadsheet. Very high tech..

I use iHerp as well, it wouldn't be too hard to make QR codes that link to iHerp.

I figured as much :P

I find Iherp a little annoying to use. Too many clicks to add things. I usually just fill it in with my written/excel records.

For the magnets, are you able to get two strips on one cage? Like, when I pair my snakes I move the clip with the snake to the other enclosure so I know where everyone is.

Easily... in fact that was the original reason why I used magnets, so moving the labels during breeding would be easier.

Mine are set up like so. I print them on business card stock and use plastic name tag holders.

I like that idea! Very good ideas you all have :) :gj:

Tape and a sharpie! :) The morph displayed on the front of the tub. If I have more than one type which I have 3 big normals they just get 'FNormal-1' or whichever. Then all the other info is on my data sheet that goes with each snake: feeding log; hatch date and who I purchased it from; arrival weight and date; monthly weight and any other notes go on my data sheets! Nothing special, I know... But someday. :)

my fiance and I use a simple picture id with everything printed on it and then sealed ( that thermal plastice stuff) that we cut and then tape to the fron of the cage. it has ) most the tiem the first gotten picture of the snake)
their name morph, year born or aquired ( rought guessing on some) ad their temper ment ( if they a biter or laid back) this way if we sell or trade a snake off the person will ( now on get the info wit hthe snake) sucks Icasue I not been able to print all myine out cause printer ran out of ink lol.. these come out liek business card and are easy to move with stoch tape. but I like that magent idea will have to look for some the next time I got money to spare.

I just open the tubs and ask, who are you??

lol, kidding! I use a label maker and attach the label to the shelf just above the tub.

I keep all their info in a binder. No tub tags. I know where everybody is, lol, but occasionally hubby will ask "who's in that tub?". I was going to have my daughter make some name cards for them, haven't gotten around to it. But I like those chalk ones you have too. Maybe I should go over to Michael's....
