About

Reptilegent

Reptilegent is the record book for people who keep snakes, from a first ball python to a room full of breeding pairs. WHAT YOU TRACK • Every snake: species, sex, weight, genetics (morph), photos and where it came from. • Feeding, sheds, weigh-ins, cleaning and treatments, each on the snake's own timeline. • Rooms, racks, drawers and terrariums, so you always know where each snake is (Breeder and Pro). REMINDERS BUILT AROUND SNAKES The next feed. Daily humidity until a shed is through. Airing the eggs. An expected hatch. Mark a reminder done and the event is written into the snake's history for you, with no double entry. BREEDING (Keeper and up) Plan pairings, record each session with both weights and whether there was a lock, follow ovulation and the pre-lay shed, and close the cycle when she lays. Every pair keeps its own history. INCUBATOR (Keeper and up) Log a clutch, watch the hatch countdown, and file a hatch report that adds the hatchlings to your collection with their parents already linked. GENETICS A morph calculator that understands recessives, co-dominants, supers and combo trade names, so you can see what a pairing can produce. SNAKEY, THE AI ASSISTANT (paid plans) Ask in plain language: "Rey ate a medium rat", "who hasn't eaten in two weeks?", "what comes out of Pastel × Clown?" Snakey answers, and can add snakes and log events for you. QR LABELS (paid plans) Print a label for an enclosure. Scan it with the iPhone camera and that snake's card opens in the app. Scanning existing labels also works on Free. ALSO • Analytics: a dashboard with widgets for feedings, weights and snakes that joined or left the collection (Breeder and Pro). • Smart import of an existing collection from an Excel or CSV file (Breeder and Pro). • Share a snake's card as an image, a PDF or a link that opens in any browser (Breeder and Pro). • Full Hebrew and English, following your iPhone's language, right-to-left included. Species: ball pythons and other pythons, boas, corn snakes, hognoses, kingsnakes and other colubrids. PLANS Reptilegent is free to start. The Free plan covers two active snakes, with their records, reminders, the calendar and the genetics calculator. Paid plans add Snakey, QR labels and more snakes: • Beginner: up to 10 snakes and 200 AI credits a month. • Keeper: up to 55 snakes and 400 AI credits a month, plus breeding and incubation. • Breeder: up to 120 snakes and 1,000 AI credits a month, plus rooms, advanced analytics, smart import, the share card and the family tree. • Pro: unlimited snakes and 4,800 AI credits a month, plus priority support. Monthly only. AI credits are used by Snakey and the other AI features. Subscribers can buy extra credit packs; purchased credits never expire and can be used while a paid plan is active. Plans are billed monthly or yearly. Monthly plans start with a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers; yearly plans have no trial.

A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and the renewal is charged within the 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel it in your iPhone's Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions.
