## What is LizardBox?

Every critter. Every log. One place.

LizardBox is the care tracker for reptile, amphibian and arachnid keepers. From a first leopard gecko to a full breeding rack, keep your animals, care records, feeding schedule and collection organized in one place.

TRACK EVERY CRITTER

Create a profile for every animal with species, morph, sex, key dates, tags and photos. Organize your collection your way, switch between card and rack views, and give every critter its own QR code for instant profile access.

LOG EVERY CARE EVENT

Record feedings, weights, sheds, vet visits, temperatures, humidity, breeding events and more with 35 event types. Search and filter your complete care history to quickly see what happened, when it happened and how your animal has changed over time.

TRACK FEEDINGS & WEIGHT

Record feeder types, feeding outcomes and feeding notes. Keep a complete weight history for every animal and watch trends develop over time.

NEVER MISS A REMINDER

Create recurring or one-time reminders for individual critters or entire groups. Tag-based reminders automatically include new animals as your collection grows. Receive reminders through push notifications, email, or both.

EXPLORE THE SPECIES LIBRARY

Browse more than 7,000 reptiles, amphibians and arachnids. View species care guidance, temperature and humidity targets, adult size, lifespan estimates and reference photos. Use metric or imperial measurements.

IDENTIFY A SPECIES FROM A PHOTO

Take a photo of an animal and get a species match from the LizardBox catalog, complete with confidence scores and alternative matches to compare. Available with Pro.

### 4/5 — Nice app, but paywalled with a high price for no reason

*2025-12-18*

I do like this app. I enjoy the simplicity and it has the best UI out of all the other reptile tracking apps I’ve used. However, you need to pay if you want to add more than two animals, which is a pity because the app would be much more popular if it wasn’t. To be honest, I would’ve paid for a premium if it was a reasonable one-time fee—but this app employs the subscription based model whose purpose is to wring out more money from its users. I also do not see the point of having to pay $40 a year for this app when many other alternatives already exist in the market that is free to use while performing the exact same job with a slightly less aesthetically pleasing UI. I currently only have two animals, but I will 100% be leaving to a different app in a foreseeable future when I get my third pet snake.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2025-04-08*

This app has truly changed how I manage my reptiles. I love the different features and it’s user friendly. The developer is always open to feedback, so it’s been great watching the app develop and come out with new features. It makes taking care of all my reptiles so much easier!

### 5/5 — Calendar

*2024-08-14*

When I downloaded the app l thought that there would be a calendar for important dates because in the video on Reddit it showed that.
Please respond developers

### 5/5 — Simple and so useful!

*2024-05-15*

I LOVE this app. I am a “grandma” to a bearded dragon and a leopard gecko. We have the app installed on mine and each kids device so I can monitor their care and we can each log what we do with our pets. Particularly during brumation or with things like the UVB, it’s so helpful to have a solid record. Makes vet check ups super easy and keeps our busy family in sync with our beloved cuties. Features added over the last year have been wonderful - so thankful I heard of this app on Reddit!

### 1/5 — almost entire app behind paywall

*2024-03-11*

was excited to get it after i saw it on reddit and seemed just like what i needed, however i was disappointed to find a lot of stuff was behind a paywall, you can only have 1 reptile, other features also need payed, don’t download unless you want to pay a subscription for it.

### 1/5 — Only lets you add one pet before paywall

*2024-03-09*

Great in theory but you can only add one pet before a paywall. While $4.99 a month isn't crazy, it's still unexpected, most apps will let you add 3-5 animals before a paywall. If I had more than a few reptiles that I needed to keep up with it would be worth it.

### 2/5 — Frustrated

*2024-02-09*

I’m frustrated because I like the layout of this app; the other ones I’ve seen are too complicated for me, as I’m not interested in breeding, so the layout of this one has worked for me great. However, a month after downloading they came out with an update and ever since then, anytime I click any button that’s supposed to lead to my critter logs, the app completely closes. My phone is up to date, so is the app, I’ve restarted my phone, I’ve even written support about the issue just to let them know there was a glitch. To their credit they seemed concerned, however since then there has been another update and I’m still having the same issue. It’s frustrating, and even if this is an isolated incident regarding my phone for whatever reason, I have to switch apps. Hopefully down the line I can redownload and use it again, but until then I’m not gonna pay for an app that doesn’t work for me.

### 1/5 — Paywall yawn

*2024-01-19*

No mention in description that the entire app is behind a paywall if you want to add more than 1 animal

### 4/5 — Nice app!

*2023-11-13, version 2.0.90*

Please add marginated tortoises and a one-time purchase option. Otherwise perfect app.

### 3/5 — Great potential, some bugs

*2023-11-03*

Like updating birth date and acquired date. Anytime I change these values the other date field resets to today.

**Developer response:** Hey there! Thanks for trying us out! We released an update not too long ago that fixed this issue. We appreciate the feedback!
