Record Keeping

[Strutter769]

I am looking for a spreadsheet to help me track feeding, shedding etc... Does anyone have one they wouldn't mind sharing?

Thanks in advance!

I believe there's an online resource for this already, completely free. I think it's called iHerp??? I could be wrong, though.

Microsoft excel!!!!!!!!!!!

I started building a spreadsheet but then I found iHerp.com and use it.

I refer to it often when posting or asking questions. I try to add a lot of stuff but always record feeding, sheds and defections. Sometimes we miss when a snake clouds up pre-shed but mostly we catch them so I know how long a given snake takes from blue to shedding.

I keep paper records. I found a supplier on Fauna who was selling feeding/shed cards. I bought a bunch in several colors to color code by gender and venomous/non-venomous. I just find it easier to jot down notes on paper and have it in a big binder than use a program that would require me to figure it out, lol. I'm not the best with computers.

i log all my feeds into my iphone calender :P

I have one that I made up...tracks feeding attempts, the date, prey item, prey weight, snake weight, shed date and defecation date and has a section for notes. It's an excel (xlsx) file but I could not figure out how to upload it. I could e-mail it though.

Microsoft Excel. I customize as needed for species.

i use the old fashioned way Roy

i have a feeding book,that i write in every time i feed

i have a current yearly diary,that i record shedding and anything else in

i'm too much of a technophobe,for one of them fancy computer spread sheets

cheers shaun:D

I do the same, I track feedings, sheds, defecations, and weight. Its easier for me to have everyone's chart in a binder that I can look up no problem.

I'm not really Excel-savvy. :-\

[StudentoReptile]

I just don't want to depend on the internet to record something. I hate actually writing things.

I'm not either but after I played with it for a little bit I got something I liked. I just prefer making my own because I can make it exactly how I want it. For all of my new snakes, I just use an index card. Not the prettiest thing but it does the same function. There's also record keeping software out there you can use. I looked at one awhile back and decided it wasn't for me. I like having a hard copy and not have to worry about anything going wrong with the computer.

[Strutter769]

A hard copy would work great! Anyone else have something you could E-mail me to print?

I have a huge dry erase board in my reptile room that I have hanging on the wall. I track feeding poop sheds cleaning and keep a misc section for soakings and weights . I also have a section that has temperature requirements , humidity levels , age, breed etc...Once a month worth of info is on there we transfer it to a notebook. Iherp is great for tracking , my phone doesnt let me though. :)

It's free, easy to use, and let's you keep track of nearly anything that you could imagine. I'd be lost without Iherp.

I use iHerp and the calander on my iPad mostly. I know iTunes released a new pet tracking app awhile ago, I can't remember exactly what it was called, Pet something. But since I've been happy enough with what I'm using, I never downloaded it and can't say whether it's good or not. I have heard from a few people who did download it and they mostly liked it. Seems like another system I've heard wonderful things about is called "Degei" I think. I've never checked that one out for myself either. I believe it is incompatible with Macs and Apple stuff.

[Strutter769]

A couple people mentioned iHerp. I signed up but can't seem to find anything yet. I'll keep hunting.

[MoreliAddict]

There's also an iPhone app for keeping snake records...

That's the closest I've ever gotten to wanting an iPhone. Lol I'll check the Android Market. Thanks for the tip!

I use my own Excel spreadsheet, but Serpentrack is a great online source as well.
