Data collection

[brain]

OK, I have asked one of our knowledgeable monitors and he sadly had no information.
So to you all I ask;
Do you have … know where I can get … or are working on … some sort of data collection on your herps?
I’m looking for some sort of direction as to what would be need to track my snakes. Some ideas I have are;
1. Taxonomy - snake, lizard, etc.
2. Picture ...
3. Genus - Thamnophis
4. Species epithet – sirtalis
5. Subspecies - T. s. tetrataenia
6. Common Name or Synonym - San Francisco Garter
7. Sex – if known
8. Date acquired – 2008
9. Location or territory
10. Reference – information
11. Notes -
12. Health –
13. Feeding cycle –
14. Food type –
15. Temperament –

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. If this works I would even be willing to share

It sounds as though you already have some pretty good working ideas there, Michael. I keep similar notes/records on index cards.
I'm not quite clear though, what exactly is your question?

That looks like a good list. Weight and length, shed date, meds,vet. dates, illness dates. just off the top of my head. Since there's no hair up there. I use an excel spead sheet and paste a photo in. I've also made one on MS Publisher.
