Tub Tags!

Here are mine. They're attached to the tub with name badge holders. When a male goes to visit a female, I just move his tag along with him. I like them because its nice to know who's where, in case I have someone who's testy, it's nice to be prepared.

I'm really liking the business card/plastic name tag tags! Tag tags! :rolleye2:

I'll try those out when I get my next rack.

So I've been playing around with some designs. I liked this one the best. What do you guys think?

I like em! Very cool :)

Silly me, just been using a dry erase marker and a notebook. May have to look into something a little more high tech.

Guys, QR-codes are really simple, i dont think you even need a special software for it.


You just need to put your snakes online so that you get a link for each snake. Might be some image folders with a description, might be on your own website, somewhere in the cloud, doesnt matter much. If you only use it at home, and your phone is connected to your local private network when you are at home, then you can also link there.

then you go here: http://goqr.me/ and put in the link, QR-code is generated instantly. Other websites offer the same service.

Thats it. Now you scan the QR and get a link to the snake. You can also add some info about the snake into the QR code, like name/morph/year.

its really easy, generating and downloading it takes less than a minute per QR code, without any software.

I recently made new tags for my snakes when I got my new racks in January. They have the basic info (name, morph, and gender) on the front with their "ID Code" written on the bag. My tags are held onto the tubs by velcro when I move males, his tag follows him into the female's tub and I put it on her velco strip. Also, boys have a blue outline, girls have a pink outline. Also, they are in name tag sleeves - I just removed the little pins.

So I decided to try out the badge holder / clip style. I like that I can move the badge with the male so that I (or my husband) can see who has a "do not disturb" sign, so to speak. This is just for labeling, as I use index cards for feeds/weights/pairings. I might look into qr codes for that if I find a set up I like online. We'll see!

Thanks for the great ideas!
