    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Bad Guy Ty park/ ty lizards FL

1. from ty. you
2. you wanna get
3. of the story. and you people,
4. so don't be pre-judging
5. you wanna extort
6. so, look out guys,
Random periods, no capitalization of names, "wanna", "don't be"... this is a post composed by a lawyer?

should ask her to post a copy of both of her small claims, a copy of the chapter 93A claim,
As "his lawyer", you have access to this paperwork, please post it so we may see for ourselves the validity of your recent claims of extortion.

You are his lawyer after all, right?
 
Mr. Park is a well respected person in the United States
I suspect that after his actions following the raffle, many less people respect him. He has shown his true colors as a not-so-benign-despot.

should ask her to post

I think that Mr. Skaff may very well have been paid by one of the parties to dredge up as much information as possible.
Michelle has no duty to serve up info any they ask for on a plate. It is possible the parties are too cheap or lazy to get the information they wish to locate in any way except fishing around for it here.
 
Asking lizard 101 and Ty park again

Please answer Ty or lizard 101....

"Ty Park just to settle this, are you willing to either give me one of the T+ albino tegus that YOU produced (your fb post says you have 6 left) or the $3000 that you said you would in your original raffle ???"

there is no "extortion" here as I am just asking for what you promised in this "raffle"

Thanks
Michelle
 
Lizard101: Would you mind telling me which states you are practicing law in and verify your name is correct as seen here? I hope you won't mind me double checking.
 
Michelle Cutler, (sugarhedgie), you should tell the truth about your only intention to get money from ty. you filed a small claim asking for 3,000, then you amended the small claim asking for 5,000, then you filed another complaint under chapter 93A asking for 10,000, then you sent a letter to IRCF asking for 5,000, so in total you wanna get 23,000 !!! This is extortion. You want to get rich by publishing your twisted side of the story. and you people, that make comments based on her dubious statements, should ask her to post a copy of both of her small claims, a copy of the chapter 93A claim, and the letter of extortion sent to IRCF. Additionally, this case is still pending in court, so don't be pre-judging because the judge hasn't decided this case yet. When I read the chats between you and ty, he offered to give you a tegu, but you refused. Obviously, you had the intention to refuse because you wanna extort money from him and from IRCF. so, look out guys, beware of people like Michelle Cutler....

LOL!!! Cuckoo!
 
pathetic

its disgusting, run a raffle and do this to a winner of that raffle :time_waiting_01:
either send her, her lizard or 3k and be done with this otherwise ty park you sir have no honor and all the good you've done for reptiles will be forever TAINTED with the stain of how you handled this raffle and this WINNER, as it should be.
YOU stated the terms, YOU announced the winners, YOU collected/dispersed thousands of dollars with this raffle, YOU need to make this right plain and simple. send her the lizard or 3k one or the other its real simple. its sad you apparently need a judge to tell you that.

because the raffle they (ty and the IRCF) had wasn't legal, he knows that the judge is most likely only going to be able to award me the 400 I paid for the tickets and 100 for filing here in mass anyway so I doubt he will man up and do what is right.

I may either ask that my Ma. Small claims be dismissed without prejudice (so I can reopen it at a later date )
And give the authorities more time to investigate it to see where that goes.

It's a shame that a loophole may let him off the hook. But pretending to be a lawyer made him stoop to a new low.

Have you proposed the possibilities of a pair of hets? If you aren't planning on buying a new albino or het a pair of hets would cut quite a bit of time out your breeding program and maybe if he's not giving you exactly what you want his delusional egomaniacal thought process might be swayed. I know I'd rather have a pair of hets than a recessive that needs to be bred to produduce hets then having to raise them up.

Interesting proposal, and it makes sense, but I personally wouldn't trust hets from someone who had already done this to me...

I agree 100%, but adding fake hets to the mess he's created for here would definitely finish him off once and for all, so I doubt he would pull something like that. Just brainstorming here I'm worried things won't work out for the best so I'm just sparking ideas that may materialize into something feasible. I don't trust the government or the judicial system one bit.
 
Michael,
Nothing will be done, if anything goes wrong.

Last year 2015, I purchased 2.3 Ctenosaura bakeri from Ty, he guaranteed me 2 males & 3 females, in addition I had to pay a premium price for the females, $200 more ea. 9 months went by, low and behold 5 MALES, all turning a pretty blue, and all have hemipenes.

I called Ty, he said I used my best guess, I told him I didn't pay him $200 more ea. for 3 females, for him to guess. Here I am months later, with nothing done.

That's the reason my friendship with Ty, is no longer, and will NEVER be again.

That's what he'll do if anything goes wrong.

There you have it folks, that's why..

Hope that helps....

Personally, I don't think he needs anything additional, he's already shown everyone what he is really made of. Several times over.

Unfortunately it wont have a huge impact on him. Sure there are some of us that see him for what he really is, but he still has enough blind followers that worship him and will buy anything he's selling.
 
It is scedualed for the end of feb.

But I may ask that they dismiss it for now without prejudice (allowing it to be refueled )
And Just so I have more time to Persue it in either FL or AZ. And work more with the attorney generals.
Because in my state they will prob only be able to award me the $400 and the 100 filing fees and that's only because it is ILLEGAL in my state to have raffles (as it is in his state as well)

This whole thing has been so upsetting and very draining :(

I've asked him here a few times if he wanted to make this right and either pay me the $3000 or give me the tegu. He and his fake lawyer won't answer.

I asked him here because he said I was trying to extort some rediculous amount ($23,000.00).
He won't even give me what I won. Smh


When is the court date?

Meant re opened NOT refueled

Sad thing that people will worship someone just because they are a millionaire, I'm convinced if it weren't for that he'd be running for the hills right now.
 
i wish mr park or his so called lawyer would answer my question on here....

it was if he would like to either give me the $3,000 or a t+ holdback ( he has 6) which was only what he had promised on the raffle to resolve this seeing that he posted here to everyone that i was somehow trying to "extort money"

You will find good advice here from people who agree with you as well as sympathize with your situation, as I do. What you won't get is any closure from Mr. Parks or a so called lawyer here. You did, however, come to the right place to expose him for the creep he is no matter what the outcome, and the reptile community is in your debt for that.

Michelle,
It truly chaps me to no end knowing there's this much under handed, BS going on in our hobby.

When in this case, it's as simple as Ty just doing what he said he would, when he orchestrated the terms of this raffle.

Sorry to say, in my opinion, Don't Hold your Breath!
