We will be presenting a media release tomorrow AM

Just so everyone is aware. A number of people have been working hard behind the scenes in trying to get strong words, direct messages and constructive thoughts out to all that this incident will effect. Please keep the positive discussion going its good! Keep the personal if any attacks to PM's, emails, phone calls etc There is much work to be done and much work is in the progress. Grant Crossman

Thank you the team that has put this together has only scratched the surface of what we will be offering. The modules that we will be implementing are second to none. The updates are all taken with ideas from users. The eventual plans will be a software package that will allow you to monitor many elements of your collection away from your collection. You did the right thing by purchasing it now because once we start adding many elements the cost may be going up. Then with the affiliate program you can make money off the software or have the software pay for your package LOL Keep me posted as you play with it and input using goMobile

I cant tell you the level of honor I feel on behalf of the Canadian Reptile Breeders Expo vendors and attendees when a pioneer of the hobby accepts an invite. So when the opportunity was presented to me (thank you Ryan) that Bill was excited to return to Canada well it was less then a few hours of phone tag. Bill Love is one of the pioneers of what we all take for granted some times, the privilege to work with reptiles. To this day its not uncommon for Bill to be out herping for periods of time and photographing many of the rarest reptiles from around the world in their native habitat. Bill will be coming to this 2013 CRBE to share his vast knowledge of reptiles and to help everyone understand the skills of taking that elusive perfect pic! Yes cameras have become easier to manipulate and lighting is affordable but if you still don't know how to use it then its all paper weights. Bill will help you discover the real world of herps in the field and help you discover the ability to secure that moment in life....via a photo Thank you Bill and we all look forward to your visit.

The goMobile is complete with program. Its a simple download of any QR Scanner program onto your mobile device. It reads the tags that are made for your bins or reptiles then sends it to your PC.

I want to thank Manu and Repticlic for taking the time in offering the HerperPro software to the membership. A little history on this project. This was a product that was offered a couple years back and in the last year taken on as a team effort involving myself the original programmer and a close friend of mine.

The user friendly HerperPro is designed to not only maintain vital records but help every user support their day to day business records. Expenses, medical, employment etc is covered. One of the unique features that HerperPro works with is the goMobile. This offers the user the ability to service their collection and update records with a mobile phone or tablet. The information is then sent to their desktop where it can be saved. So no more post its, recipe cards, wipe away markers etc. All electronic secure information.... Their is a downloadable trial that you can reach by clicking the HerpPro link on the front page of Repticlic. to show our appreciation of the Reptcilic membership when purchasing if you chose to do so type in the word "Repticlic" in the coupon code and receive an aidditional $5 OFF your software .

I was asked by a close family friend to make a quick post concerning Karel Fortyn. I won't go into details but please ask that the ReptilesCanada and Repticlic family please take a moment read this post, respect Karel's families wishes and put him in your thoughts today.
