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.

Actually I think that is the main reason that some people copped an attitude about her. So I'm thinking, WTF?
What does it matter? The $3000 was offered in the raffle if the albino blue tegus weren't produced by Ty Park. Obviously anyone working with animals realizes that sometimes the worst really does happen, and Ty Park spelled out the contingency if this were to happen. And in this case, it wasn't the worst case, but it did happen. No albino blue tegus were produced by the deadline stated in the raffle. Ty Park figured he could buy the albino blues from someone else, apparently at a discounted price, to fulfill the raffle obligations.
So what would have happened had Ty Park not produced any albino tegus nor able to get any from any of his hoped for sources? Would the other(s?) winning the auction have also been belittled as being greedy for wanting the $3000 too?
*snipped*

See here is where Ty Parks gets tricksy. He says he did produce albino blues (the t+) so therefore she isn't entitled to the $3000 cash. But he also says she isn't entitled to the t+ either. He's playing semantics
In his mind she is only entitled to a t- tegu and not the cash because he totally produced blue albinos (t+).
Apparently Ty deemed the others worthy because they didn't want any information and just waited for Ty to send the animal.

I never asked any questions or raised any concerns to Ty, I just waited until Ty contacted me and when he did the tegu was promptly shipped out. This is a recent picture:

The way I understand it the t- are blues the t+ are purples he didnt produce the blues only the purples which have greater value.

This once again is where things get confusing. Ty calls his t+ albinos purple. They are still albino blues like the t- they are not the hybrids that are called purple. Because a prior tegu is a blue red hybrid. Tys purples are not really purples they are just the t+.

I don't see it like that . I think that after it sunk in that he gave away two tegus he lost his mind and greed wouldn't let him give away a third. I think who ever was 'last' in the receiving would have been in the same position as Michelle is now.
I can't say for sure but I think Ty would have actually made out better if it were one of the other two winners who he held out on .... most would have not put up the fight Michelle has. This thread wouldn't exist and this nobody would have known about Ty's selfishness and lack of character. After all, that stuff isn't posted on his Farce Book page, is it ?

What?? Ty says he auctioned off Michelles Tegu when he did not receive her shipping address and raised another "$6000 for conservation. Why speculate when you can just read the thread?
