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.

Cal zoo lets you know if a animal in under weight but eating or defected and is open about it. So I have a hard time believing that a wholesaler that is brutally honest stole snakes form this guy.

I seriously doubt he is the problem here.

Isn't that how it starts? Good reps,good animals lots of happy people. Then a guy has issues,health,money,family,criminal or whatever. He/she goes bad. We see it on here more than we should.
I'm not saying this guy Ty is or will be a bad guy later down the road. But I'd hate to find out on a $10,000 litter! Or more. He has his rep,and lots of us have our good reps that are shown on here. Why should he be different than us and pay later! We have to trust him,he doesn't have to trust us? That doesn't set well with me after putting in years of good sales of healthy animals. As many of us have. But if people wish to take that chance,it's their right to do so. But they also should cry when something happens like giving up animals first and being paid later.
Is this guy a certified reptile vet. Just curious.

This is pretty standard with wholesalers. CalZoo is a wholesaler. That being said, Ty has always been a straight shooter with me. Very upfront, very quick to help. If you don't want to sell him your clutch, then don't do it.

Isn't that pretty much what I did say. It's up to the seller. Not me. And I don't and won't sell to them. And I do sell wholesale and some retail. I also get my money up front to avoid issues. I'm honest and would not do anyone wrong. So why would I wait for my money? That's not how business usually works. But yet again,I guess it does since people use credit cards and credit period.
It's just harder for the average person to go through what the CC companies do if not getting paid.

I have done business with Ty. Truly the most honest and a man of his word.
Send him over a dozen adult crested geckos and promised that on there arrival he will send out a check/ Done deal and could not have gone any smoother. Seen Ty at shows years after that and a very nice guy. Doubt that with a large company and great reputation that he would pull a scam like discussed in this thread.

I received my order. I can't think of a single way it could have gone smoother. Admin, can I start a separate good guy thread?

You can if you feel you need or you can add your good experience to this thread. We usually prefer people try to all use the same thread but it's not a 'rule', just a recommendation.

Ty is one of the true good guys in the business. Everyone who sells to him knows his money and his word are good. I know of many instances he has chosen to lose money for the better good of the hobby. From getting rare animals (I'm talking small numbers that most would consider not worth their time)to competent breeders for a wholesale price ( the opposite of what a business like his does) to getting special orders to people quick that are far below the minimum. Ty sets what should be an example in this business.

I have known Ty for 30 years and have done hundreds of transactions with him both buying and selling. He is a good guy as well as all of his staff. He has always paid in a timely manner and never once has a check bounced(unlike the majority of others that I have dealt with). I never hesitate to do business with him...he is a straight shooter.
