PawsPet for pet owners
Snakes, geckos, bearded dragons and other lizards live by routine: feedings on a fixed cadence, sheds to watch, lamps and temperatures to check. PawsPet is a reptile care tracking app that puts those routines on a calendar with reminders and notes, and keeps weight and certificates in each animal's profile. You set the cadences: the app does not replace a vet who knows reptiles.

Create a feeding activity and set Repeat to every 7, 10 or 14 days at the time you prefer; for a UVB lamp change or a deep clean choose every N months. Occurrences are generated automatically and you tick them off one by one as you do them.
Every shed, refused meal or unusual behaviour becomes an activity with a date and notes. Reading back the sequence of a snake's feedings and sheds helps you notice when something changes, and gives you exact dates to bring to the vet.
In Measurements you log weight with decimals: below 1 kg the app shows it in grams, which is what you need for geckos and hatchlings. Each weigh-in shows the change from the previous one and the chart appears from the second; photo and note if you like.
CITES paperwork, proof of origin or a vet certificate: upload them as documents with number, issuer, issue and expiry dates and photo or PDF attachments, with a reminder before they expire. Each animal has its own profile, even if you keep ten.
Reptiles
In the Pets tab tap +: name, date of birth, then the species from the grid (Snake, Lizard or, under all species, Reptile) and, if you like, the exact species in the Breed field. Photo and microchip are optional; at the end you can upload a document right away or tap Not now.
In the Activities tab tap +, give it a name (say Feeding, adult mouse or UVB check), pick a type (say General, then Feeding & supplies) and the animal. Open Repeat, choose every N days or every N months with a time, decide how long it lasts and add an alert from the bell icon. Tap Save.
When your snake sheds, create an activity with the date, a type (General is enough) and a note: in one piece or in patches, how long since the last one. Weigh the animal now and then and log it in Measurements with +: the date defaults to today, but you can pick a past day.
Reptiles
The species grid includes Snake, Lizard and Turtle; tap Show all species and Reptile appears too. If none fits, choose Other and type the kind in the field that appears. The exact species, say bearded dragon or leopard gecko, can go in the Breed field.
Create an activity from the Activities tab, tap the Repeat row and choose every N days, typing 10 into the sentence, with a time. Under Duration leave forever or set an end date. From the bell icon add an alert, for example 1 day before, so you can thaw the prey in time.
Yes. In the Measurements tab enter the weight in kg with decimals (0.065 for 65 grams): below 1 kg the app shows it in grams. The app keeps one measurement per day: if you open the same day again you update the one already saved.
No. PawsPet has no species care sheets: temperatures, humidity and feeding cadences are yours to set, following the advice of a vet who knows reptiles. The app helps you not to forget the checks you have decided on and to keep track of what you observe.
You can use PawsPet for them as well, with the Turtle species in the grid. For documents, weigh-ins before and after brumation and brumation start and end dates there is a dedicated tortoise page: this one is about snakes and lizards.
