Animal Records Database

There are currently two well-known databases that are dispersed among herpers and breeders:

www.metzcal.com:

www.degei.com

Paper and pencil/pen

Which from your experience is the more reliable software and which is the most extensive?

Of the two which do you prefer? Why?

Do you know of any other software?

I prefer Degei. It simply felt more comfortable and intuitive to me than the other two I tried.

Here is the other one you do not have listed. http://www.thegeckocam.com/hcs/download/index.php

Thanks!! The more software we have organized in one place, the greater selection the members will have and ultimately we may all find something that is perfect for us.

The genetic calculator on metzcal looks very interesting. Do any of the other progreams mentioned have any thing like that? And is the one on Metzcal worth its salt? I have been using paper and pencil/pen but would like something else if it is any good.

I've been testing it out with my Ball Pythons because none of these dang programs are compatible with my OS. While I don't like relying on someone else's host to store my data or having to log on to a website to enter data, it's pretty good for a starting program.

Aaron needs to fix some issues with the existing program. I noticed the breeding section isn't working quite right (contacted him twice about it). When you add a breeding it should show up in the males section too, but it's not. Their also needs to be some sort of way to download the data...Monthly data sheets would be great...That way I have copies to file away if something happens to the website.

I am checking out both tracking software today. METZCAL is free, as is a version of the DEGEI.
I also use iherp for my tracking, simply because I stumbled upon the site & thought it was neat. Until then, I had made my own spreadsheets strictly for tracking. I am interested in the features these 2 downloads have; sounds like both are decent.

Metzcal has been updated, and the bug removed. What I like about it ove other freewares, is that it is full featured. Not your basic stuff. I use it and have for a long time. Since back when it was HerpMaster. Great stuff, although it does require some user input. Once a data base has been created though, it can be shared.

I too use Iherp. I find it very easy to use. Aaron is always ready and willing to answer any questions. The site just works well for me. I lookeed into the others posted here, but I'll stick with Iherp.
