it could work very well and a single excel spreadsheet will keep track of everything, however the scanners are expensive. but, so is mixing up 10k worth of hets. i've used the scanners at a previous job tracking micro chipped fish stocked in a area lake.
I believe that the avian (bird) chips would be small enough and work well.
The question is.....
Where would you put one?
My thoughts are under the skin, along side the spine, just forward of the the cloaca. Any opinions?
Just a few snakes and geckos at the moment.
