How It Works
Getting started with ReptIQ takes less than a minute. Here's how.
Download and Sign In
Download ReptIQ from the Google Play Store and sign in with your Google account. That's it — no extra accounts, no lengthy signup forms. Your Google account keeps your data synced and secure across devices.
Add Your First Reptile
Tap the + button to add a reptile to your collection. Give it a name, pick its species from our database of 50+ species, and optionally add a photo. ReptIQ will automatically load the care requirements for that species — things like ideal temperature, humidity, and general care notes.
You can also add details like morph (color/pattern variety), sex, and date of birth if you know them. These are optional, so don't worry if you're not sure.
Start Logging Care Events
Open your reptile's profile and tap "Log Event" to record a care event. Choose from event types like:
- Feeding — What you fed, how much, and whether they ate
- Shedding — When they shed and if it went smoothly
- Weight — Their current weight in grams
- Cleaning — Enclosure maintenance and substrate changes
- Vet visit — Appointments and health notes
- Notes — Anything else you want to remember
Each event is timestamped and saved to your reptile's care timeline, building a complete history over time.
Set Up Feeding Reminders
Different reptiles eat on different schedules. A baby corn snake might eat every 5 days, while an adult ball python eats every 14 days. Set up a feeding schedule for each reptile and ReptIQ will send you a push notification when it's time.
No more mental math trying to remember "did I feed the gecko on Tuesday or Wednesday?" — ReptIQ tracks it for you.
Monitor Health Over Time
As you log more events, your reptile's profile becomes a powerful health record. Use the care timeline to scroll through past events, check the weight chart to monitor growth, and reference the species care sheet to make sure your enclosure settings are dialed in.
If you ever need to visit a vet, you'll have a complete care history right on your phone — no more trying to remember dates from memory.
Grow Your Collection
As your collection grows, ReptIQ grows with you. Add more reptiles, each with their own profile, schedule, and care history. The collection screen gives you a quick overview of all your reptiles so you can see who needs attention at a glance.
Whether you're a first-time owner with one leopard gecko or a breeder with dozens of snakes, ReptIQ keeps everything organized in one place.
