Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

It's sad and I'm getting into the albino project with another breeders stock and was hoping to out cross onto some of tys stock in the future. Guess I'll have to keep my eyes open for someone else whose producing albino blues not related to my girls. I really truly hope he takes a step back and think about this whole mess and see that it's not worth the ignorant pride over one lizard or prize money he offered that was worth that one lizard. Out of all the sales he does yearly, letting go one lizard to make good on your word and keep a happy customer wanting to come back to you just seems like it would be the right thing to do. Why go through all this trouble over one lizard you raffle off? You aren't losing anything since you can write it off as a donation and you make someone extremely happy and like I said a possible repeat customer. If you had given her the name of the breeder you were buying the tegu from then maybe she would have been ok with it knowing who it was from and how well their stock is. But you failed to give her that info and you failed to tell her you would have sent a t+. You did not handle yourself well at all ty. Even if she took the money who cares what she needed/wanted it for. She was entitled to it as part of the raffle stipulations. It's not up to you to decide if she's worthy or not. That wasn't part of the raffle. I really do hope you make it right ty because something so petty should not have been made this big of a problem.

Michelle- There's not much I can contribute that hasn't been said by others. However it is clear from the implication of the original raffle offer that Ty's intention was to give the winners either an albino tegu produced by himself, or the $3000 cash. Nowhere, however, is there anything that implied that one of the more valuable albinos would be excluded from being a prize, although it may not have originally occurred to him that could be a possible outcome.
I'm no legal expert, although I have a moderate amount of experience with the legal system and contracts. I can tell you that, in addition to the specific verbiage, the intent behind offers and contracts are given consideration by judges as well. Judges also take into consideration such transparent tactics as "I DID technically produce albinos, so I don't have to give you the cash". I can also tell you that, in small claims/conciliation courts, mediation is often required before a judge or referee will hear the case.
Regarding the negative comments you posted from people on facebook- it is readily apparent that most of the people commenting either have a very poor grasp of the situation or, as has been suggested, blind faith in Ty Parks.
As far as the insults and name calling that you have been subjected to- I have found that when people have to resort to name calling and insults, they do so because they are unable to make their point with fact or logic.
Good luck in your case. Win, lose, or draw, your problem will be resolved and you can move on. Ty Parks and some of the others appear to have problems that probably will never be resolved.

he sent the 2 other 2 winners the t+ albino purples .....
but not me because " he didn't think i deserved it" because he thinks i am "greedy" GTFOH
i am very curious if the IRCF got the whole $14,510 that he raised on this raffle
march 15 he got ....
1. $3,000 donation (anonymous donation for an albino)
2. $6,000 for the 60 tickets he sold for the raffle (winners were me and grant g.)
= $9,000.00
then in oct he re raffled the T+ albino that he claimed was mine and raised
3. $3,000 donation
4. $2,510 was the winning bidder
=$5,510
TOTAL raised would be $14,510.00 that is a lot of money that should be accounted for somewhere
i hope he doesn't do this to anyone else and i really hope he changes the way he treats and talks to people.
i hope that all of the money that is raised in future charity/ non profit auctions/raffles goes to the organizations AND i hope that every winner receives their prizes that are promised, so they aren't forced into a situation like i am now in with TY PARK.
I'm sure some people may just let it go and that is so unfortunate because if no one stands up to TY PARK when wronged then he will NEVER stop!!!!!

So, presents have been opened, Christmas goodies eaten, a wonderful Christmas was had. I finally had the time to take a look at some of the Florida Statutes.
I have questions. Who,exactly, ran this raffle (does anyone have a picture of one of the raffle tickets, or a SCREEN SHOT of the ORGANIZATION that ran the raffle? (Please, no more sideways pictures, lol)
Florida has some pretty specific laws, about raffles. (ALL PRIZES MUST BE AWARDED) It also has pretty specific laws about GAMBLING
And it has specific laws about WHO CAN HOLD A RAFFLE.
Is Ty a non profit organization? Was this raffle not run by Ty, by by the non profit recipient? ALL PRIZES MUST BE AWARDED
http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/...0849.0935.html
http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/...s/0849.09.html
Of course, I'm not making any accusations, just asking questions. Florida law is pretty specific. But I'd like to see more info ABOUT the raffle to see whether it was even a Florida raffle, and EXACTLY WHO RAN THE RAFFLE.

If you have questions or concerns, utilize the IRS link I have previously provided. Good faith questions and concerns are always appropriate.

Lol I tried my best with the other ss's
Sorry they were sideways.
Ok so the raffle was rar by ty on his ty park FB page
To help the IRCF (AZ)
I paid with PayPal. Paid directly to the IRCF in the memo "for ty parks raffle" I bought 4 tickets at $100 each
No tickets were ever sent to me.
I do not believe ty park is a non profit.
Here are the 1st ss. I can only do 4 at a time so hold on
