computerised record keeping

[eeji]

for everyone who was looking for computerised record keeping, theres now a link on my downloads page for HCS Herp Care Software. Its more in-depth than a lot of free trackers i've seen, but a lot easier and unlike metzcal is aimed more towards the hobbyist rather than the professional keeper.

Theres also a new wallpaper to use too (Okeetee corn snake)

the link is:

I currently use an Excel spreadsheet, with date down one column, activity down another, and his weight in a third. What does HCS do extra?

hcs is more a database than a spreadsheet. each entry has its own 'card' with all the info on it. theres also the option of adding notes at the bottom of each entry. theres also a section for managing enclosures that can be linked to records of the animal kept in it. another neat feature is a popup reminder of animals due feeding which is handy if you've lots to feed, and spread feeds through the week.
