## What is Monty?

Monty: Ball Python & Exotics

You asked. We made room.

Monty started with ball pythons. Then the gecko keepers got in touch. And the boa keepers. And the people whose favourite animals have rather more than four legs.

We didn't want anyone left outside the reptile room. Monty 2.0 supports 84 species across snakes, lizards, tortoises, turtles, amphibians and invertebrates, with collection, care and breeding tools built by a keeper, for keepers.

YOUR COLLECTION, TOGETHER
Keep animal profiles, photos, morphs, parentage and care histories in one place. Follow feeding, weight, sheds and molts, and use batch feeding when the whole room is waiting for dinner. Supported colony species have colony records and census tracking.

GENETICS THAT RESPECT THE SPECIES
Explore species-specific morph catalogues and calculate inheritance where supported. Track hets and possible hets, check combinations and plan pairings. Genetics tools vary by species: unsupported or unpredictable traits aren't given made-up odds.

BREEDING AND FAMILY HISTORY
Organise breeding seasons, pairings and offspring, with records suited to supported egg-laying, live-bearing and spawn workflows. Explore recorded parents and ancestors in the Lineage Atlas, including ancestors you never owned. Monty Pro adds inbreeding coefficients within a labelled five-generation horizon.

EVERYDAY KEEPER TOOLS
Manage feeding schedules and reminders. Record enclosure temperature and humidity, keep receipt photos, track sales and deposits, and organise income and expenses. Export collection, breeding, temperature and financial reports as CSV or PDF within your plan's limits.

SEE THE PATTERNS
Weight charts are included on Free. Monty+ and Pro add detailed animal statistics for feeding, shed or molt cycles, breeding, cost and value. Monty Pro adds Collection Insights.

BACKUP AND SYNC
Use iCloud across your iPhone, iPad and Mac. Optional Google Drive backup keeps a copy of your collection in your own Google account and syncs it between your devices running Monty 2.0, on every tier.

START FREE
Free includes up to 2 animals, 2 racks or enclosures, 5 transactions and 5 report exports per month. Monty+ supports up to 30 animals, unlimited racks, and 50 transactions and 50 reports per month. Monty Pro removes those capacity limits and adds Pro tools. Colonies do not count towards the animal limit.

Monty+ and Pro offer monthly or yearly subscriptions. Prices are shown before purchase. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled; manage them in your Apple account's subscription settings.

YOUR RECORDS, YOUR STORAGE
Core record keeping works offline. No Monty account required. Records stay on your device unless you enable cloud services or choose to share them. Cloud features use your own provider account.

### 1/5 — Hope you have less than 2 pets.

*2026-05-31*

The app requires you to pay $40 if you have more than two animals. Not worth anywhere near that amount. No thank you!!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0.3 — 2026-10-14

Show siblings in the Lineage Atlas
Turn on Show siblings to see an animal's clutchmates and full siblings - drawn right on the Atlas map, males to the left and females to the right, with a card listing them all.

Linked devices, simpler
Linking your devices now finishes on its own, with a live checklist that ticks off each step. Monty+ and Monty Pro are shared in both directions, renew automatically, and a new subscription reaches your linked devices straight away.

A quieter open
The "Syncing with iCloud" card now appears only when there's actually something new to bring in.

### 2.0.0 — 2026-10-06

The ball pythons have company.

Introducing our new name: Monty: Ball Python & Exotics.

You've sent us lots of requests to bring other exotics into Monty. We listened. Version 2.0 welcomes 84 species, from leopard geckos and corn snakes to tortoises, frogs and tarantulas. Apparently, not everyone's collection is entirely ball pythons. Who knew?

Here's what's new:

• A wider collection: species-aware records, morph catalogues and supported breeding workflows, plus colony and spawn tracking.
• Genetics for supported species, with clear limits where inheritance can't be reliably predicted.
• The Lineage Atlas: explore recorded parents and ancestors, including animals you've never owned. Pro adds inbreeding coefficients within a labelled five-generation horizon.
• Photo galleries for animal profiles and parentage on the animal form.
• Animal statistics: weight charts on Free; detailed feeding, shed or molt, breeding, cost and value statistics on Monty+ and Pro. Collection Insights on Pro.
• Optional Google Drive backup and sync between your devices running Monty 2.0, alongside iCloud.
• Updated layouts and onboarding, plus reminder scheduling fixes.

Still here for the ball pythons. Now here for more of the room.

Before sharing a collection, update all your devices to Monty 2.0 and make a backup. Older versions do not understand all the new species and parentage records.

### 1.3.2 — 2026-08-11

The Project Planner

Tell Monty the morph you're aiming for, and it searches your own collection for the breeding
routes that get you there.

Every route is costed in breeding seasons rather than a percentage, so you can see what a project
will actually take — and a plan that runs over three or four seasons is offered when that is
genuinely the shortest way there, not hidden because it isn't a single pairing.

Choose whether you want that exact combination and nothing else, or you're happy with extras
along for the ride. Monty prices the two differently, because they are genuinely different asks.

If your collection can't get there on its own, Monty names the single animal worth buying and
shows you the pairings you'd run with it — not just the price of the ticket.

And it explains itself. Tap any note to find out what it means for you: why a plan needs a male
rather than a female and what that costs you, why an unproven het might sink the whole project,
or why a gene nothing in your collection carries can only be bought in.

Also in this release
• Aurora added to the morph database
• Record whether a Banana or Coral Glow male is a male maker or a female maker, and the Project
  Planner will use it — Banana is sex-linked, so it changes which offspring can carry it
• Swipe down to dismiss a full-screen photo

If you use Monty on more than one device, please update all of them.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-07-15

Monty is now 100% ad-free and collects zero data. Everything you record stays on your device and in your own personal cloud backup — nothing is ever sent to us or anyone else.

Also in this update: • New "Rehomed" status — record animals you've rehomed, including who they went to, without any sale details • Financial year support in Accounts — set your own year start date, browse previous years, and export by financial year • One unified timeline per animal — husbandry and breeding events together, with filters • Faster, smoother batch feeding • Clearer Accounts summaries with year and month grouping • Security hardening and bug fixes

If you use Monty on more than one device, please update all of them to keep everything in sync.

### 1.1.8 — 2026-05-26

• Photo galleries on every animal and receipt — Monty+ and Monty Pro
• Link an existing animal to an egg in one tap — pulls morphs automatically
• Skipped vs Refused now split in mass feeding update
• Smooth photo carousel and polish throughout
