I updated his spread sheet a bit and am now using that (I just added ASFs and made a few changes, he can post the updated version if he wants). I find using hard copies a bit easier than computer options.

I use my phone for most of my Internet use now that both our laptops went kaput so I can't use that downloaded one. I may try the web based one if it offers a download data option.

But excel is a great thing, and kinda like that.

i personally just use excel. i made a few columns ( date/weight/food/shed/comments ) every time i enter something i start with the date then proceed with the info. if they poo i put #2 under comments. if its food i just write how many of what size eg. 1 med,1 sml ASF.
im always worried about loosing this info so i have a second hard drive on my computer that i just copy and paste to once finished. if my computer ever crashes and i have to reformat my info will still be safe on my other drive.
i also have a hand written copy that i use. its always good to have a hard copy. this is the first place my info gets recorded. i keep it by my side when i tend to my snakes.
works for me and is probably less confusing than i make it sound.

I use Degei for record-keeping. I just finished loading most of my collection onto iHerp, but I don't plan to use it for general tracking. I am using it for breeding tracking, mostly for entertainment for anyone watching. The main reason I'm using iHerp is the lineage database. I think that may prove to be a truly important feature for the herp community, so long as iHerp sticks around.

A note for those that have a mac but want to use Degei, you can download a program called Crossover to run it native, or of course run windows through Vmware Fusion or Parallels.
I have used Crossover for those games out there that have stubbornly not been ported to OSX and have had no trouble running them that way. So for a lower end program like Degei it should be perfect.

Hey folks, Ive been gettin a couple PMs interested in the sheet, and I actually had made a thread with a direct download link...here it is:

http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...ad.php?t=98457

This is the 2nd version with euphuistical's modifications. Just download it right from the first post and enjoy, and of course please let me know what you think of it and any suggestions/comments/complaints are welcome!

For those interested, I sent a PM to Aaron from iherp and he has a beta mobile site up at the moment and is looking to expanding it alot by the new year... I love the mobile option as i don't want to have my computer beside me while entering data, or transcribing it then having to input it later...

mobile beta (iherp.mobi/Default.aspx)

we decided once we move the snakes to a snake house in a couple months,we are setting p a computer station for my laptop,and as one is doing feedings soemone else can enter them on iherp,this way if we suffer a comp crash,our info isnt lost at all

I use a combination of index cards and an excel spread sheet. It is much easier for me to keep track of things while doing them on the index cards... once done for the day or sometimes the week (slacker), I back up all the data on the excel spread....

i use degei but i still dont think its that great as far as layout and deisign but it does what it needs to and thats more important.

Can someone please make an iPhone app for this type of thing. I would pay $10 to $20 for an app that can help me keep track of all my animals info and then lets me back it up to my comp.
