Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.
General Herp TalkCan't figure out where to post down in the other discussion forums? Too many options and too complicated? Well post your herp related messages here and to heck with it.
Thought I would shoot a video of how we create our tub labels. I show you the process from start to finish. Photographing the snakes, processing the images on the computer, laying out the labels, water proofing... and then the installed label and the critter inside.
Great video Kevin! I started making labels for my tubs about a month or so ago. With mine I use clear contact paper to "laminate" them and then fix them onto the tub with velcro, since I do a lot of moving around with my snakes, LOL. I never thought about lacquer, that's a good idea. I've attached examples of my cage cards
Well darn, you guys are all fancy and stuff.
I'm still using a label printer, putting their code number and a nickname on there.
This opens up a whole new world of labeling!! lol
Great video! I don't mean to hijack your thread, but Abby, how do you come up with your numbering system for your animals. This is something that I need to work on this week.

I just started using PR (for Python regius) and then the number BP they are that I've had (01, 02, etc). The last few letters on the end indicate to me the initials of the person or place I got the snake from. Simple and works for me, lol! For clutches/animals I produce it's a bit different. Example:
EC12-AM02-BBxCC
stands for Eryx colubrinus #12, my initials clutch #2, initials of the pair that produced them. This format could change down the line as it's a bit lengthy but it works for now.

Dont it though
I spent a long time trying to figure out how I was gonna label my tubs. Some Ideas worked... most didn't. Then I came up with this way... and I haven't looked back. It has everything I need for an ID right down to their photo... and it's water resistant thanks to the spray.

Thanks and no prob.
I do something similar to Abby.
For my keepers I use the following
CS.M.08.01
CS = Cornsnake, KS = Kingsnake, BP = Ball Python
M = Male
08 = Birth year
01 = Animal number from that year or animal number total for species (take your pick)
For my clutches I use the following
10.08.01
10 = year produced
08 = Clutch number for that year
01 = baby from that clutch
This way no two babies have the same ID number and if someone calls with an ID number I can most likely answer any questions they have on that specific baby.
pretty cool. i need a fancy camera with a quick shutter response. i'm old school as well using a labeling machine for my snakes. i do like the idea of a photo ID on the tubs, though i'd probably use my commercial laminating machine at work so i could detach them and send as a photo ID on the snakes i sell.
