    I'll check out Metzcal, but I'll have to wait to download it since I'm on my mother's computer. "No downloading" rules. Is there any good form I can use for just one or a couple of snakes. I don't have a big collection of snakes just yet. Actually I only have one, but I want to keep track of everything about him. And my other reptiles when I get them.

I've yet to find anything it can't do. Every now and then it throws a minor error, but nothing fatal.

    This looks like a cool program with many useful features. Unfortunately, I cant get this to run on my desktop system for some reason.

    I'm running Windows XP.:confused: Anyone else having a problem with this? Maybe I try my laptop later.....

    That's a pity; I get the occasional minor error but nothing big. I was able to download and install it without asking my SO for help, which is no small miracle in itself. He tells me we are running Windows XP Home SP2, if that means anything to you.

    I really really like the weight tracking graphs...it will also let you bulk-add events, like feedings, if you set up the templates right...still playing with that. So instead of manually entering each feeding in for every snake (which is getting tedious), I could enter a single feeding event and it would apply it to the whole group (assuming you have it set up in groups by prey size).

    I'm running service pack 2 (SP2) as well. I'll try it with my laptop soon.
