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.
