QR Code Scanning for Reptile Racks

Print a QR code for each animal and stick it on the enclosure. Scanning the code takes you straight to that animal, or lets you log an event for it. On a feeding day, multi-scan mode handles a whole rack at once.

The Scanner in Single Scan mode, with the camera framing an enclosure's QR card and a 'Position QR code within frame' prompt.

Getting QR codes onto enclosures

QR codes come from an animal’s ID card. Generate and print a card, then attach it to the enclosure. See ID cards & enclosure QR codes.

Single scan

  1. Open the Scanner tab.
  2. Point the camera at an animal’s QR code.
  3. Scutely opens that animal, or lets you quick-log an event for it.

Multi-scan (batch)

For feeding or cleaning runs:

The Scanner in Multi Scan mode showing a '4 Animals Scanned' list, each animal with its trait chips and a feeder picker, and an Add Event button for the whole batch.
  1. Open the Scanner and switch to Multi Scan.
  2. Scan each enclosure’s code. The animals stack up in a list as you go, each with its traits and prey item.
  3. Tap Add Event to log the same event (a feeding, shed, or clean) across the whole batch at once, or export/print cards for the group.

Any animal without a prey item set shows a No feeder set flag right in the list, so you can fix it before logging the feeding.
