## What is HerpLabs?

HerpLabs keeps the records of your reptiles. Log feedings, sheds, weights and poop in a few taps instead of on paper or in spreadsheets, and see right away who is due next. You can try it straight away, without an account.

WHO IS DUE?
• Today shows every animal that is due for food, based on your own intervals per care profile: due from the first day, overdue after that
• 7-day preview: tap a day to see who is due then
• "Feed today" widget for the Home Screen and Lock Screen (iOS 17 and later)
• A daily reminder on your iPhone while an animal is due
• Feeding pauses automatically while an animal is in shed
• Notes on weight loss and long gaps between sheds or poops

LOG IN SECONDS
• Feeding, weight, shed, poop and notes
• Record refused or regurgitated feedings
• Feeding round: feed all due animals in one go
• QR labels for the terrarium: scan and land right in the animal's profile. Printed on A4, with 3, 6 or 12 labels per sheet

YOUR COLLECTION
• Profiles with photo, ID, species, morph, origin and hatch date
• Animals without a photo get one of 126 scale covers that match species and morph, and for snakes you can design your own
• The care profile and its intervals right in the animal's profile
• History, weight chart and key figures per animal
• Animal pass: share a profile as a link or image, for example when you sell a hatchling. You choose what is visible.
• Sitter access by QR label: whoever looks after your animals scans the label and logs feedings, without an account of their own
• Search, filter and sort

CARE GUIDES
• Guides for 16 species, from ball python and leopard gecko to Russian tortoise: temperature, humidity, feeding, with sources, also offline
• Care profile templates by species and age, which you can change at any time
• Feeder suggestions that match your animal's weight

BREEDING AND GENETICS
• Pairings, clutches and offspring
• Incubation day and expected hatch window for common species
• Genetics calculator for ball python, leopard gecko and blood python, with your own genes as well: expected offspring with odds, also inside a breeding project, shareable as a card

STATS
• Your collection, single animals and breeding
• Weight and growth, food amounts, feeding gaps and refusals, each for the time range you pick
• A full record per animal

YOUR DATA
• Opens instantly from the copy on your iPhone, also offline
• Bring your records from Excel, Numbers, Google Sheets or CSV
• The same account on your iPhone and in the browser at herplabs.org
• Start as a guest and save your collection later with email or Apple, or sign in with Apple right away
• In English or German, weights in g, oz or lb, temperatures in °C or °F
• Stored in the EU, no tracking, no ads
• Export all your data as a file and delete your account at any time
