Herp breeders - how do you keep your records?

That program has EVERYTHING I want, but... I'm not paying $25 for a mobile app.

With the number of animals you have I can't blame you, however for someone like me it's a handy tool when it comes to my collection.

Absolutely. It's not enterprise-level, but for the amateur it's a little pricey, especially when other things will work just as well for a small collection.

I thought it was quite reasonable given the amount to thought time and effort they have in it. The fact they listen to users and take the comments to heart is worth the cost. This forum is responsible for the changes to date format.

You're probably right. I'm probably just reacting to the absolute buttload of money I've spent over the past two weeks on this hobby. LoL.

It adds up for sure! I often write custom scripts for my work and my boss keeps tossing massive •little• projects at me so I am sensitive to the effort it takes to do what they have done.

I might try out Reptile Scan, it does look quite good.
I've been just using spreadsheets, but that app does look quite good.

Does anyone here use it?

I do I really like it . The best part is my wife can record actions as well so one date base with multiple people accessing it. It works really well.

Thanks!

I make a data sheet on excel that has space for up to 52 weeks of feedings and a section down below for notes. I note shed dates and weights; ovies, prelay sheds, etc... I used to hand jam everything in a notebook but misplaced said notebook and lost all my records so I had to go by memory and just kinda estimate around what time my girls were due to lay. I was surprisingly accurate.

I just use a notebook, every week when I go to feed I just put what they've all eaten or refused, any notes about going into shed, weird marks, anything I feel is important and weights every two-three weeks. Its easy and its portable if I ever need to go to the vet with one of them, or flip through when I'm making their food list. All of my snakes have names so I use those instead of numbers lol.
