need suggestions for a new project

I'm starting to plan a project, and I'm looking for suggestions on what to include. What I'm doing is I'm creating a web based snake diary. The project includes a relational database backend, and a perl of php / web front end. For those of you who keep snake / herp diaries, what kinds of things do you include? What I have so far is feedings (date, amount, time to consume), sheds (dates, complete_shed), notes (large text field for general notes and observations), and images (pictures of course!). For those breeders out there, what types of things would you like to see in a project like this? When complete I plan on makeing the entire project source code publically available, and may provide some limited database hosting for a limited set of the herp public. Thanks in advance.

Look at Clint Boyer's site. He has a page with breeding projects. That will give you some ideas. Copulation dates, mate information or link, prelay shed date, number of good eggs, number of duds, total eggs, hatch dates, morphs of neonates, breeding history notes. Hope this helps.

You might want to add a field for the snake's weight, taken right before a feeding. That's how I monitor growth rate. I also measure one of my snakes, a boa, but I find it difficult to do it with corns because they move too much.

I'm makeing progress...

I'm makeing progress... http://test.radom.org/ ... the snakes section is done. the diary section (hard part tables have already been created, and will include ...

entry_id
entry_date
snake_id
feeding_date
feeding_amount
feeding_notes
shed_date
shed_notes
bathroom_date
bathroom_type
bathroom_notes
image_name

images will be clickable links to the image. at this point i could really use lots of data to play with in the snakes table. please feel free to add as many snakes as you like. comments and suggestions are very welcome.

OK. I liked a bit. I did get on the diary section.

Enjoy!
