how do you keep track?

Hey Forum,
I want to start keeping track of when my BP's eat/produce excrement/shed ect, but I'm having trouble coming up with a format. I currently have multiple papers with little more than scribbles on them.

I was wondering how you do it? Do you have a template? Is it like an invoice? I've never been much good at this type of thing- but I do believe it is important.

If you could just post what you do, or even if you have an example post that! Thank You so much, once again!!!

I use iherp.com and love it.

Iherp.com :gj::gj::gj: Is Free and Is Awesome.. You can take a look on my Animals in my sigi is a link to my Iherp account...

I just write it all in a notebook.

The top contains the morph, sex, DOH, where i got the snake from, any additional info.

Then i have a column for "Fed", "weight", and "Shed" I just date everything and right it under the column. I will write down what prey, they are fed on what day. Either p/k, live or f/t and what size the prey item is. I usually do a weigh in once a month for everyone to see progress on weight gain.

Im not as high tech to have in on my computer :) maybe someday.
Hope this helps!

Don't have my examples on this computer, but I just use an excel file with a different column for each snake. If something happens (shed, feeding, refusal, tub cleaning, vet visit, shed assist, etc.) I date it and put it in

I use IHerp and also back up my files on my computer.

My son started a little black book. No no not that kind! He records like his science fair projects. Daily logs and thoughts. We will get a spread sheet started soon.

Something kind of like this, but nicer looking. Wasn't sure how to attach my spreadsheets to the reply.

I used to do it a long time ago with Degei http://www.eyehit.com/degei/ however I no longer keep track of most of what I consider insignificant for my breeders, I only keep track of pairings, ovulation, pre-lay shed and egg laying because that's what matter to me.

Now when it comes to hatchlings that I sell they come with complete feed record (a feed card showing the date and prey type)

I just started a journal to write everything down, that way if the power goes out, or my computer just acts up I don't have to wonder who ate what on which date. Some bookstores have some cool ones if you don't want to use the standard spiral school style ones.

I use Vyper, and have been since it came out. Love it!

Each animal has a printed rack card that I keep beside their tub in a plastic sleeve. I jot notes as I need them, and at the end of the month I put everything into the computer.

iherp.com! It's the best :)

I love iherp! Good site and good community.

I do all my stuff on a calender on my computer. Its real simple and neat and it syncs with my IPhone4.

I started using Vyper & it seems very solid.

Im also using Vyper and it works great.

I've had way too many computers crap the bed on me or it always seems like my laptops are getting broken. Oh well thats what I get for being clumsy.
I'm old fashioned. I have a binder with a page for everyone. I print out action sheets. That way I can't lose everything. I've got a big dry erase board that I write stuff down on until I can transfer it to the notebook.


Check out what's new on my website... www.Homegrownscales.com

We also use Vyper, and we love it. Very detailed, and provides everything we could possibly need from a tracker. From birth, all the way to the sale of the animal. Great program.!!!!!

I've been using iHerp for a while now (almost 2 years?), and so far so good! :gj:

I haven't tried any of the others mentioned, so I can't say if it's better or worse... but I find it really easy to use, although their mobile version could use some help.

i have a 5 subject notebook & i use each section for different things...
1) feeding
2) shed/poo
3) weight/growth
4) temperatures
5) humidity
for the last 2 there i have an additional 1 subject notebook to use since that info is recorded the most.

i also use iherp.com. :gj:
