HatchLog
Breeding reptiles means wearing every hat yourself. You source animals for your projects. You track pairings and genetics. You clean enclosures, feed your collection, monitor clutches, incubate eggs, answer customer messages, market animals, make sales, and keep records on everything.
At first, it works. Then the collection grows. And something starts to slip.
Not because you're careless. Because one person can only keep so much information in their head.
You forget when a female last laid. You lose track of pairing rotations. Lineage records get scattered between notebooks, spreadsheets, screenshots, and memory. You know the information exists somewhere, but never when you actually need it.
What you needed was not another place to store information, but a tool that could keep up with the work as it happened.
HatchLog
HatchLog is the breeder's working tool. Pairings, lay dates, hatchlings, feedings, weights, photos: each record tied to the animal it belongs to, all in one place.
As the season progresses, HatchLog builds a living record around every animal: clutches, hatch dates, lineage, and breeder attribution all connected as the work happens. When an animal is ready, the breeder taps Register. Once verified, the same records used to manage the season become part of a permanent public lineage.
From pairing to hatching
When you pair a female, scan her QR code and log the pairing. When she lays, scan again and log the clutch. HatchLog tracks expected lay dates and reminds you when she's due again, so you can stop checking bins blindly or writing dates by hand.
As incubation progresses, HatchLog watches each clutch and alerts you as hatch dates approach. When the eggs hatch, mark the clutch as completed. The app creates individual profiles for every hatchling, with parents, lineage, and breeder information already attached.
Search by name, RC code, morph, or species. Filter your collection to surface the animals you need to act on.
Every animal has a complete story
Each animal profile stores the information breeders care about:
- Photos
- Morphs
- Hatch dates
- Producer information
- Pairings
- Clutch history
- Full lineage and pedigree
Selling without losing the animal
Traditionally, selling an animal means losing track of it for good. When you're ready to sell, register the animal with The Reptile Club from its profile and transfer ownership to the buyer in the app. The buyer receives the animal's complete profile and verified lineage. Your breeders remain permanently connected as the recorded sire and dam, preserving the history of what they produced.
If the buyer breeds that animal and registers the offspring, the lineage continues. You can follow what your animals produce for generations.
A lineage system that builds itself
As breeders register animals, pedigrees expand through verified sire and dam relationships. Connections between animals are formed and attributed to the breeders who produced them.
Lineages once considered lost can be rediscovered through breeder verification and community records. Even animals that have passed away can be preserved in the Registry, as long as verifiable breeder data exists.
Certificate of Pedigree and the Registry
Every registered animal receives a Certificate of Pedigree displaying up to three generations of lineage. That same animal is also added to The Reptile Club Registry, where every parent, grandparent, and great-grandparent on the cert is a clickable profile. Each ancestor's profile shows three more generations behind them, so you can step through the lineage as far back as the registered data extends.
Free and Pro
HatchLog is free for up to 5 females and 3 males, with no limit on the clutches you log. Pro is a subscription that removes those limits, lets you register animals with the Club, includes cloud backup, and gives you a registration credit each month.
