David,
First things first, Ty won't take deposits, he doesn't need the money...
Ty and I were close friends for many years, many deals back & forth, and many, many, discussions by phone, for those of you that don't know him, he is a real estate tycoon, worth millions. All the money he brings in from reptiles short of expenses, go to a reptile charity, that's fact.
As far as ego, in my opinion, absolutely, he has an enormous ego, heard many times from him, his goal is to be the largest breeder of rare and endangered species of lizards in the world. I'd say he's well on his way.
Although Ty and I are no longer friends, I don't wish him any harm.
In addition, he does do amazing things for several charities in the reptile world. For that, My hats off to him...
The flip of that coin, my opinion, he owes the Tegu, or the $3K, PERIOD!
It is, what it is....
