Chat transcript, word for word, very long
This is the EXACT TRANSCRIPT word for word from that night. Every word from the time the chat room was opened by me, to the time I left (just for you jason) I apologize in advance for all the nonsensical stuff, but Jason seems to think I am as dishonest as he is, so I posted it in its entirety.

[21:22] (FH_Admin) hmm
[21:23] (FH_Admin) I like herphobbyist and herpforums
[21:23] (Mr) Yes they could. And they probably have nothing better to do.
[21:23] (FH_Admin) and webherpers
[21:23] (Mr) However, I'm not saying you would go to jail. But they would try.
[21:23] (nemotin) 12no they can't

[21:35] (Shaky) You gotta wait a couple more years to see whats gonna happen. I love mine and I'm sure yours look just as good.
[21:36] *GB2000* Hey, where'd you get the forums for this site at? I'd like to suggest it to the guys at the Reptiles Magazine forums I frequently visit...their format kinda sucks now.
[21:36] (TravisG) I dont think my 01's are going to change drastically enough though
[21:37] (FH_Admin) There is a link at the bottom of the page
[21:37] (Shaky) I got a baby in Oct. Dunno where its from, though.
[21:37] (FH_Admin) in the forums, let me get it
[21:37] (FH_Admin)
http://www.spiceisle.com/talkshop/faq.htm
[21:37] (TravisG) where did you buy it?
[21:37] (FH_Admin) there is a download link on that page
[21:37] (FH_Admin) it is FREE
[21:38] (Shaky) traded it for a snow corn I hatched. Tim Cole had it at Zookeeper
[21:38] (Shaky) somebody brought it in. Said it was purchased at the Georgetown show
[21:38] (GB2000) Awesome, thanks alot... now maybe I can help get some of the regs back. They got mega pissed when Reptiles Mag. switched formats and decided to leave.
[21:39] (TravisG) is it the one he has had for awhile? I nearly bought those about a year ago
[21:39] (Shaky) No, its a baby
[21:39] (Shaky) Kid who bought the one that was there so long killed it. Negligence. Bastard
[21:39] (TravisG) oh ok
[21:39] (FH_Admin) brb all, got some work
[21:40] (Shaky) later, obsol.
[21:40] (TravisG) doh
[21:40] (Brad) I'm back, did I miss anything?
[21:41] (Shaky) You ever get a lav. Lindheimeri from DG?
[21:41] (Brad) who?
[21:41] (TravisG) aye got some, through Dwight, but the were produced by Mark Bell
[21:41] (Shaky) Oh. Nice as the DG pics look?
[21:42] (TravisG) hard to tell yet, they are just babies
[21:42] (TravisG) DG's are from Mark as well
[21:42] (Shaky) That pic he has made me seriously consider a pair. I decided to do some S. TX bullsnakes instead
[21:43] (TravisG) yeah there are a ton of snakes i want (need?) but I have to limit myself to pantherophis
[21:43] (TravisG) so i can keep it affordable
[21:44] (Shaky) Well, you already have a ton of pantherophis, so I dont feel sorry for you
[21:44] (TravisG) lol, yeah too many of them also, lol I think my snake food bill is larger than my wife and I
[21:45] (Shaky) I caught/found the biggest baddest prettiest TX rat last Sept I've ever seen. It was AWESOME. Should have kept it. Had a camera and didn't snap a shot, too. I'm a moron
[21:45] (TravisG) going to soon build some mouse breeding racks, so I can expand my snake collection, heh
[21:46] * NWFLHerper has joined #fieldherpers
[21:46] (NWFLHerper) holy crap batman
[21:46] (Shaky) good luck, your wife will be very happy
[21:46] (TravisG) cool, I am always looking for nice looking lindheimeri
[21:46] (NWFLHerper) quite a crowd tonight
[21:47] (Shaky) My 1st time in here, NWFL
[21:47] (TravisG) can get enough wc females for diversity
[21:47] (Shaky) I know where that big female lives, so I will look for her again this spring.
[21:48] (Shaky) 'least I think it was a girl
[21:48] (TravisG) i have a few texas rat projects I am working on
[21:49] (Shaky) It had saddles that changed colors, from dark on the neck to reddish on the mid-section and dark again at the tail. Thought it was a bull at first
[21:49] (TravisG) cool wish you would have taken a pic
[21:49] (FH_Admin) back
[21:49] (NWFLHerper) busy makin the new forums?
[21:50] (Shaky) Me, too. If I catch any nice ones, you want me to keep them for ya?(I mean really nice ones) Or just forget it?
[21:50] (FH_Admin) not yet..registering another domain name herpforums.com
[21:50] (NWFLHerper) I told you how that process is supposed to work. Your going to put people into shock
[21:50] (TravisG) feamles yeah, my collection is kind of male heavy atm
[21:50] (FH_Admin) LOL
[21:51] (TravisG) i have two male wc i want to line breed for their colors
[21:52] (Shaky) OK. I'm sure I'll see my share this year. Any look you're after?
[21:53] (TravisG) well one male is very red heavy and the other is very yellow heavy (not the straw color but a more rich yellow)
[21:53] (Shaky) OK, color, not anery-ish
[21:53] (TravisG) of course if you found an actual anery, lol
[21:54] (GB2000) While I'm reading the boards and stuff and just kinda skimming everything, Christian, I'd like to suggest maybe creating a few basic forums for other users like a lizard forum, snake (which I believe you got), turtle, amphibians, etc... or something along those lines. Then maybe even more people will get involved... dunno how much space you got to do all that with though...
[21:55] (Shaky) I've seen some really grey ones with pale ground color in the Barton creek greenbelt. probably not technically anery, but close
[21:56] (Shaky) Obsoleta, where do you live?
[21:58] (TravisG) might be hard to spot an anery
[21:58] (FH_Admin) Charlotte, NC
[21:59] (NWFLHerper) Admin
www.kingsnake.biz is still available LOL
[21:59] (Shaky) yeah, I'm sure you've seen some that are so dark they are almost fully grey. There was one a couple summers ago that would routinely eat the eggs at this chickencoop, and would kill the pullets even tough they were too big to eat. It was solid gray on the back
[21:59] (FH_Admin) I am going to add A FEW MORE FORUM CATAGORIES, cHELONIANS, Caudata, Anurans, Saurians. ANd add a general forum under each one
[21:59] (FH_Admin) [21:01] (FH_Admin) I will do that Later. (smiley) after the chat room is empty
[21:59] (FH_Admin) I am going to add A FEW MORE FORUM CATAGORIES, cHELONIANS, Caudata, Anurans, Saurians. ANd add a general forum under each one
[21:59] (FH_Admin) [21:01] (FH_Admin) I will do that Later. (smiley) after the chat room is empty
[22:00] (FH_Admin) ooops
[22:00] (Shaky) ok,ok
[22:00] (Shaky) lol
[22:01] (TravisG) so what are you breeding this year shaky
[22:01] (Shaky) CORNS, corns corns. I'm getting sick of corns (smiley)
[22:01] (TravisG) lol
[22:02] (Shaky) I just have a pair of normal corns that will breed again this year. Next year I may try the bairdi, and maybe if I catch a pair of bulls this spring..
[22:04] (FH_Admin) anyone ever cross a yellow ratsnake with a bairds ratsnake?
[22:04] (TravisG) I dont technically have "normal" corns
[22:04] (Shaky) I've pretty much run out of room. Plus, its hard to get rid of the darned babies sometimes. I'm glad I dont have tons of breeders yet.
[22:04] (TravisG) hmm havent seen that
[22:04] (Shaky) My normals are het snow, so I get a mix of 4 colors
[22:05] (TravisG) i have some Texas local "slowinski" corns, and some keys corns that will breed this year
[22:05] (TravisG) hard to get rid of the babies?
[22:05] (Shaky) No, never seen those 2 crossed, but I bet its been done. Although bairdi people are almost as bad as pit folks about hybridizing
[22:05] (FH_Admin) lol
[22:06] (FH_Admin) what about rebelly and dekays snakes?
[22:06] (NWFLHerper) HYBRID!!!!!!!!!!! HYBRID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW ITS ON!!!!!!!!! LOL
[22:06] (FH_Admin) LOL
[22:06] (TravisG) lol
[22:06] (FH_Admin) I am thinkin about adding that forum
[22:06] (Shaky) who do you sell yours to? i dont have a website and I dont set up tables at any shows, so I unload them on the local shop
[22:07] (FH_Admin) A hybrid/Intergarde forum
[22:07] (TravisG) by e-mail actually, I just post pics of the adults and get people e-mialing me
[22:08] * FH_Admin sill wants a leucistic Black Rat, nOT texas...
[22:08] (TravisG) i just set up a web page this year, though i am fixing to re-do it with microsolft frontpage
[22:08] (TravisG) bah leucy black
[22:08] (Shaky) I guess thats the way to go. Someday, maybe I'll do that. In a couple of years when my 5 female corns and bairdi are ready to drop
[22:09] (Shaky) Saw your new site. Is it all set up yet?
[22:09] (TravisG) no, kind of stopped doing it in its current form, gonna start using frontpage, without front page its a ton of work
[22:10] (GB2000) I need to learn frontpage...
[22:10] (Shaky) I dunno if I've seen a leucy black
[22:10] (GB2000) I always do mine in straight HTML which is a ton of work to do from scratch...and it's not even that great.
[22:10] (Shaky) do they make those?
[22:11] (TravisG) also I want to upload all my breeders, which will be about 90 snakes, imagine that on dial up, argh
[22:11] (FH_Admin) I have heard of them, yes. But have not seen one
[22:11] (TravisG) yeah, looks exactly like the real thing, leucy tx lol
[22:11] (Shaky) I wish setting up a website was as easy as a powerpoint presentation
[22:11] (Shaky) lol
[22:12] (TravisG) straight html is a ROYAL pain, course I know just enough to get me in trouble
[22:12] (FH_Admin) posted a link to the site stats if yall are interested. In the suggestions forum
[22:12] (Shaky) ye GODS, man! 90 breeders. Your hands are friggin' FULL
[22:13] (TravisG) told you my food bill is HIGH!
[22:13] (FH_Admin) I use frontpage, if only because it saves me LOTS of time
[22:13] (GB2000) lol... yeah it is a pain. If ya wanna see what I've done with straight html check out
http://www.geocities.com/sntncd2dth/
[22:13] (TravisG) aye tome is money
[22:13] (FH_Admin) But I know HTML and some perl
[22:14] (FH_Admin)
http://www.faireplaye.com is my other site which is a modified perl script
[22:14] (GB2000) I'll have to check out frontpage in HTML class tomorrow... I know everything they're teaching so they let me do what I want.
[22:14] (TravisG) aye nice site appearantly you know more than me
[22:14] (GB2000) Hmm... I've never seen perl. I know Visual BASIC... going to a state competition in mid March for it. Got a 1:8 chance of going to nationals
[22:15] (FH_Admin) actually its a free web portal scrit I have just changed some of the code, and the theme
[22:15] (FH_Admin) Congrats GB
[22:15] (GB2000) So far I'm rated one of Ohio's 32 best Visual BASIC programmers (smiley)
[22:15] (GB2000) Thanks
[22:15] (TravisG) cool, wanna make me a webpage, lol
[22:16] (TravisG) actually the worst part is uploading everything
[22:16] (Shaky) Learned BASIC in HIGH school, about 20 years ago. I assume your visual basic is slighly different?haha
[22:16] (GB2000) Yeah, I don't know BASIC, but they say it's a graphical version of it, which makes it much easier
[22:16] (TravisG) they had computers 20 years ago? lol
[22:16] (GB2000) hahaha
[22:17] (GB2000) green screens (smiley)
[22:17] (TravisG) a whopping 10 mhz
[22:17] (Shaky) really bad ones. And yes, it has been exactly 20 years since i graduated.
[22:17] (GB2000) Back then the only thing you had to be scared of was Telnet hackers....
[22:17] (TravisG) hmm, feel young, i was 5
[22:17] (FH_Admin) me too shakey..took a college course on BASIC when I was 11...19 years ago...
[22:17] (GB2000) I wasn't born yet...
[22:18] (TravisG) lol
[22:18] (FH_Admin) Remember th TRS80?
[22:18] (FH_Admin) or "trash" 80 was its nick
[22:18] (Shaky) I could program points to connect lines in about 6 colors. We just had to plot points for pictures and write a basic program. It was so dang tedious, I avoided them for years
[22:18] (Brad) The good ole' TRS80
[22:18] (Brad) I do
[22:19] (Brad) hey hey, hang on now, I liked that thing
[22:19] (GB2000) Never heard of it
[22:19] (GB2000) I guess it's too old for my young mind (smiley)
[22:19] (Brad) too young
[22:20] (FH_Admin) I wrote a basic program that was an image editor...16colors, and you used the joystic to position the cursor (no mouse) I could even save and load my drawings....I think I still have it, wrote in in GW-Basic in a 2 day period.
[22:20] (Brad) Hey, that was big time back then
[22:20] (Shaky) Joystick? Lucky you. I had to fighure out and plot where EVERY point was
[22:20] * TravisG has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
[22:21] (FH_Admin) well you could also use the cursor keys.
[22:21] * TravisG has joined #fieldherpers
[22:21] (GB2000) I've got some friends who still use basic and they're pretty good at it... one of em likes to use most of what he knows to program his graphing calculator in pre-calculus
[22:21] (TravisG) oops
[22:21] (Shaky) Sure. The big deal was something called Intellivision(right after ATARI)
[22:21] (TravisG) yeah i actually had intellivision
[22:22] (FH_Admin) yeah, and Colecovision!
[22:22] (Shaky) I loved mine, but today it looks like garbage
[22:22] (TravisG) i had the voice sythesizer (sp?) that you couild gert
[22:22] (Shaky) I played a playstation2 - NFL game - WOW! Couldn't stop
[22:23] (TravisG) doh, too many beers

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=549DFHWAT8&isbn=0002193183&pwb=1
[22:47] (FH_Admin) cool
[22:48] (FH_Admin) I know aescaluna Ratsnakes are in europe
[22:48] (FH_Admin) Aescalupian...jeez
[22:49] (ErikH) those are neat,hardly ever see any available though
[22:50] (FH_Admin) Yeah, the romans brought them into europe where they never were before
[22:51] (FH_Admin) They were brought to put in the "spas" of the time, they have to do with healing and rebirth.
[22:51] (NWFLHerper) interesting
[22:51] (ErikH) i read that they kept them in their homes for rodent control also
[22:52] (FH_Admin) supposedly is is a Aescalupian on the caduceus (medical symbol)
[22:53] (ErikH) i cant see how they would get them to stay inside the house though
[22:54] (NWFLHerper) colse the door silly
[22:54] (NWFLHerper) close
[22:54] (NWFLHerper) lol
[22:54] (FH_Admin) lol
[22:54] (ErikH) dang did they make real doors back then,snakeproof ones?
[22:55] (FH_Admin) they wouldnt leave if there was food...duh!
[22:55] (FH_Admin) and warmth
[22:55] (NWFLHerper) maybe they just put a line of sulphur accross the threashold
[22:55] (NWFLHerper) lol
[22:56] (FH_Admin) Moth Balls
[22:56] (ErikH) yeah
[22:57] (ErikH) my house was built awhile back,like in the 40s or so,and snakes get in and out of here
[22:57] (NWFLHerper) lucky you
[22:57] (ErikH) found a few in here,that didnt belong to me
[22:57] (FH_Admin) lol
[22:57] (ErikH) and most escapes are never found
[22:58] (NWFLHerper) need some expand-a-foam
[22:59] (ErikH) need a snakeproof room too
[22:59] (ErikH) with weatherstripping under the door
[23:00] (FH_Admin) yep
[23:00] (FH_Admin) As soon as I get a house, my 32' travel trailer becomes a herp room
[23:00] (NWFLHerper) or just secure the cages lol
[23:01] (ErikH) had a grey rat in here one time,and a dekayi
[23:02] (ErikH) dekayi was out in the open in the floor in front of the AC,cooling off,was about 100 outside that day
[23:03] (FH_Admin) sounds about right...they are active little snakes
[23:03] (ErikH) grey rats are usually the ones to come in the house though
[23:04] (ErikH) had one here,one in the place i lived before,and one in my neighbors house
[23:05] (ErikH) got a black king in a apartment when they saw it go unbder the kitchen cabinets and called me
[23:05] * nemotin has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
[23:05] (FH_Admin) I would love to get a call like that
[23:05] (NWFLHerper) cool
[23:06] (ErikH) i was there in about 5 minutes
[23:06] (NWFLHerper) Its always a delicate balance when letting the neighbors know about yourself and snakes lol
[23:08] (FH_Admin) yeah
[23:08] (ErikH) they hate snakes,but most will still call you before they would kill it
[23:08] (NWFLHerper) thats good
[23:09] (ErikH) watching someone catch the snake is probably more entertaining than just killing it
[23:09] (FH_Admin) my neighbors are the same way...one wouldnt even come out of her house until I removed the neonate racer from her porch LOL
[23:10] (NWFLHerper) lol
[23:11] * cat has joined #fieldherpers
[23:11] (NWFLHerper) well I am off to bed. nite all
[23:11] (ErikH) see ya later
[23:11] (cat) aww did I miss everyone?
[23:12] * NWFLHerper has quit IRC (Quit: )
[23:12] (ErikH) i did too,havent been here 10 mins and everyone is leaving already
[23:12] (FH_Admin) I am still here.!
[23:12] (cat) heh
[23:12] (cat) I think my brooks has become a lap-snake
[23:12] (FH_Admin) lol
[23:13] (FH_Admin) I would love to have a lap snake
[23:13] (cat) he hasn't been out in awhile, so I took him out and he curled up in my lap
[23:14] (cat) I hope my royals turn out like this when they get bigger (smiley)
[23:14] (ErikH) ive had mean ratsnakes do that,curl up in my lap,then the next time i go to get them out,they are as mean as ever
[23:15] (FH_Admin) I want a chain king or 2
[23:15] (cat) this guy hasn't bit me.... yet
[23:15] (cat) I have this adult brooks and a 7 mos. old nigritis
[23:15] (ErikH) he probly wont,most kings dont bite
[23:16] (cat) the black gets pretty wiggly, but has never tried to bite
[23:16] (cat) according to the brooks' last owner, he was never ever bitten by him
[23:17] (ErikH) cal kings are bad about biting,but its always a feeding bite,they think they are being fed,and bite whatever moves
[23:18] (cat) heh, this guy gets a little jumpy sometimes, but never rattles his tail or opens his mouth
[23:18] (FH_Admin) most kings are gentle
[23:18] (FH_Admin) even WC ones
[23:19] (ErikH) most other kings are like that,unless they are wild and you catch them,its always a feeding bite
[23:19] (ErikH) had some wild kings bite defensively,but only when you first pick them up
[23:20] (cat) I'm not sure if this guy was cb of wc
[23:20] (cat) he's very friendly
[23:20] (ErikH) only when you first pick them up in wild i mean,they'll sometimes bite then,but usually never again
[23:21] (cat) ah
[23:21] (cat) I should take another trip to CA never seen one wild
[23:21] (cat) didn't even think about it when I was down there last year
[23:21] (ErikH) it hes a brooks he was most likely cb
[23:23] (cat) yeah
[23:23] (ErikH) cal kings are dumb sometimes,saw one bite and try to constrict itself when it missed the mouse
[23:24] (cat) ow
[23:24] (ErikH) have to watch your fingers around one that aint all there
[23:25] (FH_Admin) lol
[23:25] (cat) I'm glad I got a brooksi then (smiley)
[23:25] (cat) and the black
[23:26] (cat) uh
[23:26] (cat) he just coughed..
[23:26] (cat) I wonder what that was all about - scared the hell outta me
[23:28] (ErikH) he is probably ok,but watch him,it he does it frequently,he might have a respiratory infection
[23:28] (FH_Admin) wasnt a yawn?
[23:28] (ErikH) especially if he starts to breathe with his mouth partly open,take him to the vet if he does that
[23:28] (cat) yeah
[23:28] (FH_Admin) I agree
[23:29] (cat) he's not doing anything else weird and he didn't do that yesterday
[23:29] (cat) it may have been a loud yawn
[23:29] (ErikH) yeah ive seen them cough or "sneeze"and never have any other problems
[23:30] (cat) I'll just keep a good eye on him
[23:30] (ErikH) i'd watch him though,could be the beginning of a infection
[23:30] (cat) yeah
[23:31] (cat) right now he's just sitting still, moves his head when I move, bout it
[23:32] (cat) maybe it was a sneeze
[23:32] (ErikH) if he is active,and has a good appetite,and doesn't cough alot,don't worry too much
[23:32] (cat) as I said, I'll keep an eye on him. He has one hell of an appetite though.
[23:33] (cat) he's keeping an eye on my cat across the room
[23:36] (ErikH) how big is that brooks?
[23:38] * Kenny has joined #fieldherpers

Session Close: Thu Feb 20 23:47:02 2003
As you can see, I had every intention of registering BOTH names, and Jason came in late and left earyl, so his view on the whole issue is VERY skewed. Also it is plainly evident that we were having a little fun at kingsnake.com's expense, but as you can see the only thing it consisted of was lighthearted joking.
BTW, just for the record, I was NEVER banned from kingsnake.com, I am still a member of their site (albiet I never visit).
