Record keeping

kameron Jun 26, 2003 09:18 AM

How do y'all keep track of everything? Especially those of you with multiple females. I'm up to fifteen dragons now (I defy any of you to say it's NOT an addiction!!! ) I'd be especially interested in computer software, since I'd probably be more likely to use it regularly. Any suggestions?

Haven't been keeping records myself (only have one dragon so far)
but I would suggest using a spreadsheet application like Excel or Quartro Pro. It's easy to make tables and calculations with it. It wouldn't take to much to set up columnes that calculate the total eggs hatched from all clutches in a single year, the failed to hatch ratio etc.

Word or other word processor type programs could be used but I always find making tables in Word is a pain in the butt. The rows/columns are already set up in Excel, just a matter of labelling and adjusting the size of eact column/row.

If you like nice graphs and pie charts to represent your collected data, other applications could be used for that but I am not all that familier with them.

I downloaded a 30 day trail software and it's only $29.95 to buy. It's really cool. It keeps track of everything! Measurements, Heat, Feeding, Breeding, Meds, you name it! It seems to be completely editable too.

I don't think that I can post the site to download it from, so email me and I'll send you the link.
