Snake rack management software

One-pass rack logging, per-tub care, offline records and linked temperature and humidity readings for reptile rooms.

Keep location and animal history connected

Recovery Reptiles is reptile collection-management software for keepers and breeders. It tracks feeding, weights, sheds, cleaning, breeding, genetics, clutches, and lineage.

Rooms, racks and slots show where an animal lives while the animal record keeps its care history. Moving an animal should change its location without losing its identifier or past logs.

One pass with exceptions

Start a rack pass with tubs selected, untick the exceptions and record routine care in a batch. Use individual records for exceptions and measurements. This reduces repeated navigation; it does not remove the need to inspect each animal.

Logging when the room is offline

Recovery Reptiles queues offline care logs until the connection returns. Confirm synchronization after reconnecting. Offline logging is not a promise that every action, purchase or shared-team update works without a connection.

Temperature and humidity alongside the rack

Linked thermometer and hygrometer records accept webhook readings, CSV imports and manual entries. Set a safe range for each sensor; out-of-range readings are flagged and old readings are marked stale. This is monitoring, not automatic thermostat control, and not a claim that every sensor brand connects directly.

Choose a plan for animals and people separately

Basic is free for 3 reptiles or amphibians plus 6 invertebrates or colonies. Keeper is $4.99/month for 25 reptiles or amphibians. Breeder is $10.99/month for unlimited animals and breeding tools. Facility 10 and 20 add 10 or 20 people at $15.99 and $20.99/month. Feeder colonies never count against reptile limits.

Keeper includes rack quick entry and QR labels. Breeder is for unlimited solo collections and breeding; facility plans add shared access with owner, admin, keeper and viewer roles.

Questions keepers ask

Does the app control rack heating?
No thermostat control is promised. Sensor features record and display readings, flag configured ranges and show stale data. Maintain independent safe heating controls.
Does everything work offline?
Offline care logs can queue for later synchronization. Do not assume all account, payment or shared-team actions work without connectivity.

Can I bring in spreadsheet records?
You can import animal records from a CSV or spreadsheet export, including supported species, sex, morph, weight and identifier fields. Check the preview before importing. This is not a promise to transfer every historical event from another app.
Can I keep a copy of my data?
Every plan can export collection data as JSON from Account. Keep an independent backup before changing apps.
