What LOCUS Scales does

A reptile breeding management app, built around ball pythons and expanded to several other species — meant to replace paper/spreadsheet tracking with a complete system, without overselling what it does.

🧬 Genetics

• Ball python cross calculator — 78 genes, exclusive sources Morphpedia and ReptiDex
• Allelic complexes modeled (e.g. Spider Complex), bilingual health warnings
• Automatic detection of unexpected genetic surprises in a baby, with retroactive resolution

🏠 Husbandry

• Rack and terrarium management — lighting, heating, substrate, cleaning with reminders
• Round Mode — quick bulk actions (fed, shed, refused, water change) across a whole collection
• QR code per animal or per whole rack — scanning jumps straight to quick actions
• Feeding reminders based on each animal's real history, not identical thresholds for everyone

🐣 Breeding

• Complete pairing tracking — locks, follicle sizing, ovulation, pre-lay shed
• Support for egg-laying and live birth — the form adapts to the parents' species
• Goal-based pairing planner

🐭 Feeder rodents

• Colony tracking separate from reptiles — bins, ratios, litters
• Loss tracking (cannibalism, transfers, euthanasia), not just births
• Profitability report that flags your least productive bins
• Dedicated budget with ROI calculation

💰 Sales and finances

• Sale statuses (kept/for sale/reserved/sold) with deposit and balance-due tracking
• Invoice and receipt PDF generation
• KPI dashboard — collection value, fertility, feeding compliance, profit
• Exportable reports in Excel and PDF

🔒 Security and privacy

• Column-level encryption for sensitive customer data
• Self-service account deletion
• Fully bilingual French/English interface
