Ty Park I Think We should Reconsider his Rep

I love Reptiles...

Yall should get the love back. You guys sound so silly sometime. I really hate posting on this website because the maturity is that of a middle school ( a dumb one ). Lighten up people.

I love you

To me, this thread has turned COMPLETELY around and is now showcasing Ty's true good guy colors! Well Done Ty!

My girlfriend just told me how much she wants a Tortoise. After reading this thread I think Ty will be the first person I talk to about getting one!

Glad Ty's rep has been strengthened by this thread and not tarnished. OP, where have you gone? You were offered a golden ticket without even providing any evidence to Ty. I'd be surprised if that offer still even stood.

What I don't really understand or see justified here is the OP's complete un-trusting attitude towards the seller. Yes she was apparently sent a sick animal (I say apparently because we haven't been shown any proof) but never does she actually believe that the seller is going to take the animal to his vet at all... for no apparent reason. Why this attitude? Even when the seller told her about having a no-kill policy, having a vet on retainer, his stellar reputation in the community... I don't get it.

The OP posted this thread obviously related to this incident: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...45#post1621745

I don't know how anyone could answer such a general question.

Yes it's your responsibility to decide how you want to treat an ill animal, but just because you say an animal was sent to you ill, you can't expect someone to just blindly pay whatever you want for the vet bills. You have to provide some kind of reason for HIM to trust that the animal was actually sick when you ask for a refund.

This thread has made me want to look to Ty and his animals before anyone else...and I will.

The thread has already proven Ty Park, my boss, to be a reasonable, honest and top of the line animal caretaker. My name is Corey. I have been employed at his farm as a breeder and caretaker for two years. There are a few things I can tell you about the farm and Ty personally.

Animal Care: No matter what, our goal is to ensure proper health and care for the animals we house at the farm. If the animal needs something to increase care, we buy it. If someone makes a mistake, Ty ensures every employee gets to learn how to not make the mistake, even if it isn't in their job description. Not only does it teach a lesson, but every mistake corrected is a step closer to perfection (and less mistakes!)

Shipping: When I have to ship any of our cyclura, tegu, or any other reptile that we have hatched, it has to be perfect in every way unless the receiver knows about any flaws. Fat belly, energetic, full tail, all digits, etc. We do our best to send the best!

Our Vet: The few times I have gotten to work with him, he has done a flawless job repairing hemipenes accidents and recovering egg-bound females. He also does the best he can do to give us the medication and recovery techniques for any of our sick or injured reptiles.

Ty himself:

Trust: One of Ty's qualities he honors the most. Anyone that is honest with him, gains his respect.

Generosity: If someone needs help, Ty will go above and beyond to help them with whatever they need whether it be advice, support, or even something as simple as a compliment.

P.S....he also thinks he is funny....

I wish the OP would have settled down and thought before posting, but remember she did apologize to him and admit she was wrong. At this point that's all she can do. The cat's already out of the bag, there's no sense in still beating her up about it. At least this has pretty much has turned into a Good guy thread to anyone who reads it. I know this has convinced me the Ty is a good guy!

Prob a little late on the good ty park experiences, but I will chime in as I got 3 RTs from that same ad, and all 3 came in great shape with zero problems and are eating machines!!!! They pretty much will charge me when I come up to the tort table thinking ther gonna get fed.(not shy at all ).

!

Makes me want to visit him personally. So jealous of those that were fortunate to do so. Always nice to see someone who truly loves their animals when too often come across those who only care about the almighty buck. Kudos Ty!

I want to be like Ty when I grow up! You are so fortunate to not only be able to do what you love but to give back so much. Thank you.


So glad this had a happy ending.
