A complete husbandry platform

Not a care-guide website with a login screen. HerpDesk is a working record system for keepers, breeders, rescues, educational providers and licensed collections.

Complete animal records
Every animal has its own detailed record: identification, acquisition, morph, locality, legal status, enclosure, notes and custom fields.
Species-led husbandry
A structured central species library provides temperature, humidity, UVB and enclosure guidance you can adapt per animal.
Feeding and weight tracking
Log feeds, refusals, prey size and supplements, then follow growth with weight and measurement charts.
Health and medication records
Observations, veterinary visits, diagnostics, treatments and medication schedules, kept in one auditable history.
Breeding and incubation
Breeding projects, pairings, clutches and incubation records with automatic offspring creation. (Phase Two)
Enclosure management
Rooms, racks, vivariums and aquatic systems with equipment, capacity and target environmental ranges.
Automated schedules and reminders
Recurring feeding, cleaning, medication and maintenance tasks with daily, weekly and monthly views.
Professional reports
Collection inventories, health summaries and husbandry histories exported as CSV, with PDF reporting in Phase Two.
Multi-user collection management
Role-based staff accounts, task assignment and audit trails for professional collections. (Phase Two)
Secure cloud access
Row-level security means your collection data is private by default and reachable from any device.

Responsible by design
HerpDesk Manager is a record-management tool. It does not provide veterinary diagnosis or treatment advice. Always contact a suitably qualified veterinary surgeon about the health of an animal.

Species information is general guidance only. Individual requirements vary with age, health, reproductive status, enclosure design, season and professional veterinary advice.

Target husbandry values are always configurable per animal and per enclosure — one universal value is never treated as correct for every animal.

Built by keepers

Made by a real reptile collection

HerpDesk Manager is developed by The Reptile Academy, a not-for-profit Centre of Excellence for reptile and amphibian education, animal welfare and SEND learning in Dorset. It is the same platform we use to manage our own licensed collection.
