iHerp, do you?
I know many of you are on iHerp, but I thought it would be good to get the word out there for the newbies. :)
iHerp is a free tracking system, where you can set up individual "profiles" of your reptiles, set up different categories, & track feeding, sheds, cleaning, etc. You can also set up lineage with other animals, as well as breeding projects. (They also have a free classified section.) You can blog, ask questions, & interact with other reptile peeps. (All the cool people are on iHerp) ;) I have been on iHerp for almost a year & a half & I love it! I am NWHeather on iHerp as well. The website is: www.iherp.com Be sure to stop by & say hi! |
Yes, great site!!!! U know I'm on there tho! Lol.

So is it actually useful if you only have one snake (and only ever will have one?). What makes it better than just scribbling notes on a notepad? I'm just curious and trying to decide if I should make an account.

I like it because it makes it so easy to organize, keep tracking records, and the classifieds are free. Its kinda like a mini-forum too. I guess if you have one snake its easier to keep track on your own, but its also a good back up just in case you lose that notepad or your computer crashes. I used to keep all my records on an excel file but I lost everything when my computer died. So iHerp is good for backing up your info.

I only have one snake but I have never been a pen and paper person. I love the online tracking. It's so simple. Plus you can find people with the same species of snake as you very easily.

I'm on there too, a relative newbie there. It's a nice site even if all you do is put up pictures. I find it's a nice way to be able to store all the info, pics etc on each snake. When I need a pic of a snake for an ad or anything I can even pick from 3 different pic sizes so I have kinda been using it to resize stuff. I don't really use the tracking on there because that's just too much data entry for me but do enjoy the blogs and questions.

The social aspect of it is a big part of why I'm there. The girl who got me into snakes in the first place (she's my ferret breeder) is on there, & it's another way we keep in touch. You can select different user to add to your "favorites" list, & you can make blogs only visable to your favorites, if you want. The favorites list also give you the ability to find your friends' pages pretty quickly. Quote:
Aaron (the iHerp creator) is great about updating the site, & adding things that are requested, to make things easier for us. Quote:

The iHerp community is huge, & you will see in the blog posts that they come together to help each other out. There's an iHerp hoodie that Aaron put together & ordered. He placed pre-orders not too long ago, & I think there will be some extras sold. I ordered mine & hope to get it within the next week or two. :) |
I'm on there. I love that site! Don't update it as often as I should, especially with the various foster animals I've had recently.
|
It really is a great site, isn't it?
I think everyone should be on iHerp :) |
