Why SquamaTracker Exists | Reptile Record Keeping

From erasable boards to a lasting record

Before SquamaTracker, Hugo’s reptile records were kept on erasable boards: meals, sheds and baths. Information was repeatedly lost. It became difficult to distinguish meals accepted from meals refused and to keep a useful view of food stock.

Hugo, the creator of SquamaTracker, described the problem this way: “We wrote meals, sheds and baths on boards, but we kept losing everything. We could no longer follow which meals were accepted or refused, and keeping track of food stock was impossible.” This is a translation of his account in French, not a customer testimonial.

That experience explains the app’s focus: put observations with the animal, preserve their dates and make the history easier to find. It is a practical record-keeping story, not a veterinary credential or a promise that software can care for an animal on its own.

Three practical questions behind the app

Was the last meal accepted or only offered? Which animal did that note describe? Can I still find the observation after adding a new one? These are the record-keeping problems the app is designed to help with.

Start with the feeding history if those questions sound familiar. Keep one confirmed meal or refusal with its animal, then read it again before your next entry. You can use the same habit for shedding observations and weight measurements.

Keep facts and uncertainty visible

A useful record should say what was observed. Missing information should remain missing until it can be verified. A measurement, a note from a previous keeper and an assumption are not the same kind of information.

The same principle applies to this website. We describe the released app’s features and keep planned capabilities separate. We do not invent genetic outcomes, care figures, customer numbers or results to make a page look more complete.

An app for keepers, with room to grow

SquamaTracker is available on iOS and Android. You can start with up to three animals on the free plan, with optional Premium tools for a larger collection and breeding records.

The app currently offers French and English. It opens in French on first use; English is selected in Réglages → Langue. The international website begins in English so its presentation can remain consistent with a language actually available in the app.

Share the problem you want to solve

Feedback is most useful when it describes a real task: the entry you could not find, the record that was difficult to read or the step that took too long. Suggestions help identify what to examine; they are not a promise that a requested feature is already available.

For help with the app, use the support page. For a health concern, consult a veterinarian experienced with the animal concerned.
