Metzcal

Hello chameleon world.

I wanted to post this thread about Metzcal and how wonderful it it.
You can find it here:
http://www.metzcal.com/
Everything is 100% free!
You can keep records of anything and everything.

You can set up individual animals with genus and species information.
Cites information
Purchase date
What you payed
Who you bought it from.

Individual animal events like:
Feedings, what the fed on, sheds, mating, ovulation, egglayings, weight, growth, vet visits, treatments, etc, etc...

You can set up calcium/phosphorus ratios for feeders.
It has graphs and you can set up pictures.
Line graphs for your animals weight.
Pie graphs to compare insects fed to your animal.
You can number your cages and add notes like when you clean them or you when need to replace plants.
You can set up genealogy for long time breeding.
Even a Punnette Square for genetic traits!

Great thing for almost anyone that wants to record a little information.
It takes a couple hours to set up, but I would consider it worth it.

Thanks Justin. That is awesome. I've been keeping my own records either in word or excel, but this puts them to shame. That is going to help me tremendously.

Thanks again,
Debby

My first thought was FREE mezcal?!?! Cool! But do you eat the worm?

The program is similar to the one I found at thegeckocam.com. I've been using it for months and it works quite well for general info. Nothing as cool as Weldon's weight graphs or anything, though...

I downloaded it .. but have no idea how to use it for Chams... I find that it is geared for snakes and other Herps... Give me some pointers dude!

I know that you download "sets" I think is what they call them... But have you found any for Chams... My fav thing was that is shows temperture and climate specs on different areas of the world... Even Maddy!

You need to tinker around with it.
Stop being such a guy and read the manual. lol
Anyways, if you need some help, then just shoot me a PM with your phone number.
