**Breeders** How do you ID your animals?

[Royal Morphz]

0828_m-yb50hpied#02 = season 2008, clutch#28, male, yellowbelly, 50% het pied, 2nd male yb 50% het pied in that clutch

That's how I do it.

These are really helpful here, and I'm noticing patterns, no matter who's IDing what. Keep 'em coming if you have a different style than already posted.

Ones I don't produce are simple.

Pastel M1 [morph, sex, number(if I have more of that morph)]
Yellowbelly M1
Spider F1

Ones I do produce, just off the top of my head.

08-3 Normal F2

08: year born/breeding year

3: clutch number

Normal: morph/ pattern

F: sex

2: number of that sex, which coincides with the morph/pattern

I'm trying to create a standard Auto ID system for herps. In the future i'll make something where you can create your own scheme, but I was wondering if something like this could suffice for a little bit.

Say you have a 2007 Albino Male Ball Python, your 30th of the year.

BPM-2007ALB030

Or a 2004 Normal Leopard Gecko Female, 54th of the year

LGF-2004NOR054

Does that seem like something easy to read? I was thinking of throwing in clutch number, but that'd make it really long. Maybe i'll throw that in there, but at the moment I'm going to leave it out. What you guys think?
