Poll Thread

I was wondering what type of tracking system you all used to record your herp(s) feeding, deficating, urates, shedding cage cleaning etc schedules?
And if you breed how do you track cycling, breeding, clutching etc?
Feel free to elaborate on what you do. Or if you use a software would you recommend it?
Sincerely
Rusty

For us we use a software system that is free off the internet. "The Reptile Keeper", I have a small amount of animals in house so it works for now. If we get a larger bunch I will be shopping around. We also have a paper filing system. We keep all the surrender documents, vet records, court records (if a cruelty case), and adoption papers.
Seems to work well.

I have an Excel workbook (multiple tabs) with a sheet for each reptile. One file for snakes, one for lizards and one for reptiles that we no longer have.

Rusty I am going to remember to call you one of these days!;)

I am tracking my animals through IHERP.com and on paper.

Hi,

I'm just starting to use degei but haven't got round to adding all the animals so have loads of old calendars and notebooks lying around with all the old data waiting to be moved across. :oops:

Degei for my collection and index cards for hatchlings I do not plan on keeping.

I use Degei. I keep a notebook in the snake room where I jot notes, then drag it up once a week or so to enter it all into the computer.

I have degei on my laptop and I just enter in as I go. I have tried all of the herp software and degei is by far the easiest for me to use.

Wow, this rules. I am downloading it now. Thanks! And bless you for rescuing these wonderful pets.

do you mean the reptile keeper?. If so it is pretty cool, simple to use. I noticed that I always click on "make backup" before exiting. Or else what info I put into it wouldn't save. Just a hint.
Rusty

Sounds like a cool software. If my collection grows much more, I'll look into that.

I put 'other'. I feel special. :D I use mini calendars. I have a mini calendar for each herp that are taped to the wall with a pen by the vivs. This way I remember to write things in. I do keep track of everyone's sheds, eating, excreting, vet trips, etc. It's really comming in handy now that they're all on meds. Forgetting when the last shed was is one thing. Forgetting when their last dosage was is another.
