Record Keeping ... How do you log / what info do you focus on ...

I use reptile scan, I can use it from my laptop or scan the QR code from my phone.

I focus on feeds, pairings, ovulations, pre-lay shed and clutches.

3x5 index cards

Weekly weight, feed and shed.

I use a different 3x5 for pairing when breeding just to keep track of who she was with and how many days.

I use iherp.com. It's a website where you can keep a record of everything for your BPs. Right now my focus is feeding, shed and monthly weight. I definitely recommend it.

Iherp for my mass collection of 2. I log info based on the species and to keep track of when I last did something that i want to keep track of such as cleaning etc.

I have an app called SnakeKeeper. It's easy and works very well for small collections. You can export a report to e-mail and print for hard copies.

i used to keep detailed records but do not bother anymore because i have no use for all that data. i take short notes in case i notice any any feeding issue just so i can monitor weight and when last fed, once a snake goes back to normal feeding, i scrap the notes.
there are permanent labels on each tub about the genetics, year hatched, and of course the sex. breeding is the only info i'm recording, i take note about the pairing, locks, weight, ovy and pre lay shed. after the breeding season, the notes are "filed" and new ones will be used for next season. i do take note of previous pairing for the female to identify any surprise hatchlings.
i only have a few snakes, enabling me to keep track of them by eye, i know all of them well and i can identify who has not been feeding/shedding/pooping often enough.

Logbook and pencil. Call me old fashioned.
