We use what I think is called Digiherp or something like that, the wife has it on her computer. It keeps track of all that as well as rodent colonies and such. You can also lay out your racks in it so you just click on a given rack then tub and should be to the animals record that is kept in the actual tub. We can also take a file and save it to a CD or E-mail it to prospective buyers or actual buyers. They get the full history including the ID # for the parents. As a breeding program goes along you can actually do family tree tracing and such for 2nd or later generation babies in your collection, lets you find out who Great, Great, Great grampa was as long as he is in your actual data base. The best part is the internet can be down and we can still fill it out. Oh yea you can also add a bar code system to it with a scanner that allows you to say scan a bar code for a rat pinky, fuzzy, weaned, sm. adult, md adult... and then one on the snakes tub and it will automatically load up info on the feeding as well as other stuff you can set up bar codes for.

We are going to probably wait till our collection gets over 100 snakes before we look into the bar code system though since it costs a couple bucks!
