Record Keeping?
What do yall use for record keeping? Currently I'm using iHerp, but I wanted to get something with more options and possibly a code 39 or QR scanner. I looked into Reptile Scan but I don't really care for it. I came across one called HerperPro. Anyone heard of that one or used it?

I use good old index cards. Keeps everything I need on them in one neat place. I purchased reptile scan, I use it along with index cards. I really like reptile scan, but there are a few things I do not like. Overall it is a very good reptile keeping app for a decent price.

Re: Record Keeping?
Microsoft spreadsheets and a grease pen on the tubs. Works fine for me.
-
4X6 index cards, information is always on hand and cant get lost due to someone else's error;)

Re: Record Keeping?
I make a spreadsheet in Openoffice and print that out.

I currently use iherp. I'm keeping a close eye on Vyp3rz though, I've heard great things about the old version and they are finally rereleasing it. Beta starts on the 25th I believe. Very interested in seeing what they've improved / added!

Used to use printed spreadsheets, until it got annoying keeping up with printing new ones. Switched to a Google Document, that way multiple people can access it easily and it won't get accidentally lost. I have checked out iHerp before, but never found it interesting enough to bother switching (that being said I have never really looked into it very hard) and IMO its not worth buying a program when a spreadsheet can do all I need it to do.

I use card stock and a binder. I am old fashioned and prefer a hard copy that I can touch vs something online. They are three pages, one with basic information, feeding/weight chart and then shedding/potty. So far so good. Before I was just keeping them on collage ruled line paper. I could write whatever I wanted. This is something I found online somewhere and I modified it to better suit my wants.

I use note cards and a note book for everyone snakes and rats I'm not big with computers so I don't bother with spread sheets and apps cards work good. And M&H thanks for that layout pic :) I'm gonna use that cuz it's better than current set up well neater ha
-
I prefer something I can touch too. I have a binder, with tab dividers and they all have their sheets/record logs, along with feed card and receipt from when I got them.

I am currently using iHerp, but as soon as the snake rack is finished and set up, I'm going to switch to note cards.
Easier having something right there in front of the cage than to have to log onto a computer to update records. Plus if I need to look at something, it is again easier having it right there in front of me instead of logging onto a computer to do it. (I don't have Internet on my phone, but if I did it would still be a pain to have to log onto something instead of pulling out a card.)
-
Just Microsoft Notepad for me. If I need something, all I have to do is just print it out! haha

Re: Record Keeping?
I use Herper Pro not for tracking feeding and what not but more for Inventory and Breeding Purposes. When I pair up I just click away who's being paired and the lineage for the clutches are done with pictures then I print out the Guarantee and all the paperwork very easy. It is a pain to input all the animals if you have a lot but still manageable.........But every tub in the racks have a feed card

Re: Record Keeping?
I guess I should have told yall that I am super anal about my records. I use iHerp as my "online database" but I also have an excel spreadsheet and a hard copy. I have a binder with tabs for all the animal's individual records. I'm going to invest in a filing cabinet soon so within each snake's file there's a place for breeding records as well.
I was looking into HerperPro because you can make invoices and print out record booklets for each snake to send to their new owners. It also automatically makes a lineage page and a genetic guarantee page. Mine isn't really set up to do any of that. That's why I was looking for something else to supplement my records with.
I will ALWAYS keep a hard copy and back up my digital copies...that will never change. I was just looking into other options other than iHerp.
-
I use a notebook and then back all the information up in excel. Not the most extravagant, but it does the job.
-
Re: Record Keeping?
Clipboard with printed tracking sheets for each snake and I periodically go log everything into iHerp.

Record Keeping?
I use reptile scan and couldn't be without it now. Feeding an entire rack with a few clicks is a great job.

I use OneNote. It syncs between my devices so it doesn't matter which I use and I can always have my notes with me, backed up by email, or printed.
