iHerp love it or hate it?

I gotta agree with Deborah on this. It looks like a good way get a little community going and being able to share what's going on with your animals and breeding efforts. I just cringe at the thought of keeping all my records on there and somewhere down the line the site closes down or starts charging for access to pay for all the bandwidth being used.

Thats the only thing that worries me. Thats why I still have my home made card.

I like it. Computer in the snake room makes record keeping easy. If it gos down that will suck...no pun intended.
I linked the baby pics on my website to the iherp page for that individual, so if anyone is interested in a particular snake they can see the tracking for it.

Yeah, it wouldn't be TOO bad losing that data for just a couple of snakes -- but just the sheer amount of time lost for a mid to large sized collection. To be fair, the same thing could happen with Degei if you aren't meticulous about your backups. If your computer happens to crash and you don't have your backups stored in another location, it'll be the same situation.

Back it up. Go to your animals tracking page. Click edit,select all,edit,copy.Open notepad or word or open office,ect. paste. Overwrite the files once a week with updated info. Keep a copy on your hard drive and a copy on a usb stick or whatever external device you have.
Better safe than sorry

Haha, I just noticed some of your pictures on the side bar for newly added reptiles. ;]

Its really slow, but I like it anyway.

hehe Jess.. I added my animals REALLY late last night so im not surprised Jaxson is still in the list of the last 5 or so added snakes lol. I have been playing with the site this morning adding things here and there. So far I really like the site. If I remember correctly i saw some of yours being added too

I did not find iherp practical for a large group of animals, say 70+. I prefer Degei all the way. Not only does it keep track of my snakes, but feeder inventory, clutches, geneology, vendors, and sales. Prints sales receipts and just about any type report you can think of. You can assign feeding intervals for your animals and print out a feeder pick list for the day, or a day in the future. It then tells you how many of each feeder you need to thaw out based on what the animals ate last time. So simple and easy in my opinion.
