I'm all tech so have an outlook calendar set up for the snake and lizard and then use an excel spreadsheet to log feeds, sheds etc.

It'll easily scale up for when I have more animals.

My outlook syncs across my many computers and phones so I never miss anything.

Not that hard to do and a good skill to learn mink!

IHerp or Herp Care Software...the latter should only be used if you are on an actual computer every day as it doesn't work for mobile devices (made in 2003!!). Or post it's/index cards/calendars work too.

Thanks for the pic! I think I will craft more of a holder than just laying out. I have a tornado dog that would eat those in a heartbeat lol.

Great ideas! I'm horrible at organization of anything...I also have an iHerp account but I haven't used that in forever...it says that my rubber boa has never been fed lol...that is so not true! I'm always on the lookout for better ways to keep track of who does what, etc.

I just find it neat to look back on

Plus I forgot to write on the tubs somehow lol

lol I used to do the same thing as you.

Now I just track due dates and ovulations. I only check weights to ensure they are healthy for breeding. I was really diligent and now I'm on the far opposite side haha.

honestly at this point I slack a lot on everyone except for the white lip lol. I am very picky on keeping up with him because I'm trying to get his weight up, but I am hoping to breed the rainbows soon too so I've been keeping an eye on them as well
