Feeding/Sheding software?

What do you keep track of your feedings on? I have seen some software out there that looks neat but I have been keeping my records on paper and then on Microsoft Excell spreadsheet. I am wanting something a little more involved that would hold a pic of the snake and then The records of feedings and stuff like that. I am really wondering what is out there and what has worked and or not worked for different people.

I just remember when i fed and go with rough estimate on last shed.

I use iherp to keep track of feeds, sheds, etc. It is free and it works for me with only having one snake at the moment.

I have this fancy peace of software called notepad, its REALLY Expensive. :P

Honestly I wouldn't bother with anything more. Do whats easiest, If its easier for you to use excel then go with that, if its easier to just write it down on a peace of paper do that. If you feel its easiest to make a nice fancy card and print out and then fill that out go with that.

Documenting things like that is a great habit to get into but it doesn't need to be a half hour data entry job that you do every night.

Vyper Reptile Tracking Software......makes things run so much easier with my collection. You can download a free trial from their website or from Justin Kobylka's website.....(caution...whatever you enter into the free trial you will have to re-key into the full version if you purchase it), very inexpensive and very user friendly!!!:gj::gj::gj:

I use Iherp too and I love it. Its free also.

I use Richsballpythons feeding cards and I love them, they are very cheap and help keep me very organized.

I use iHerp as well...

Vyper Reptile Tracking http://www.talkradiosoftware.com/direct/direct.html

It has a cool feature where you can print off a rack and bin booklet on normal paper. So if you like keeping records on paper, you can do so and then update at a convenient time.

This software actually has alot of nice features. All the bells and wistles without being complicated.

I use I-herp for now. I plan on getting Vyper reptile tracking soon.

Thanks to all of you. I will check into those and see what happens. I just want to keep the 26 snakes records straight and I think this will help out a lot.

I use Degei and 5x8 index cards that I print out.

I used to Use Vyper but for me i use feeding cards listed in my Sig.

I use Vyper. In my opinion its a million times better than any cards. Cards get annoying, wont last forever and take up space.

How does a card take up space. Put them on the shelf the snake is on and your done. Once they eat write it down rather run to computer and type it all in.

And technically the card does last as long as you have more than one to replace after its full. Its easier to send with snake rather print out full pages.

Why did you stop using Vyper?

I use Degei 4. I love it, it has feeder info, number left, snake complete info, weight length shed medicine urate etc. Files for multiple snakes. Pics expense records. Awesome!

What kind of tasks do you want the software to do? Microsoft Access can probably be used to create a completely custom tracking program to fit all of your needs.

I stopped as to print out records for buying customers its a pain and waste of ink. Its easier to just toss in the feeding cards with the snake and the customer can take over where i left off.

Vyper is awesome for few snakes but things can go wrong with software and computers. Not to mention with larger collections inputting the feedings and so on into computer is a hassel.

Thanks Rich. I have 22 snakes and I have went from paper log to I herp. Maybe cards will be next as I am always afraid of a computer crash. I will definitely order cards when I have babies so the new owner will have all info.
