    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

Very interesting new on this case it seams.

Michelle asked the court in MA to dismiss that case (without prejudice) because the states of FL and AZ are working on it. It is NOT a victory for Ty Park even though he seems to think so.

yes i asked for it to be dismissed because all i was going to get was the 400 plus the 100 filing fees because in my state raffles are illegal.
i would rather try to get what is actually owed than the $500

ty sees it as a victory. lol

his offer to me of $400 was an insult

i have retained an attorney and he sent the ircf a demand letter

Good news: the Judge dismissed the case against me from Michelle C.
Bad news: now she is pursuing a judgment against IRCF.
WE WILL FIGHT THIS TILL THE END!!! I will not be bullied into doing something I believe is wrong!!!

Ty Park I don't know but what kind of person will go after a non profit organization that has done nothing but good for the iguanas and other endangered species? I'm mad as hell and she will regret this because I'm going to go after her with everything I have---under the law.

The amount of devotion to Ty demonstrated in the above facebook posts- and the amount of vitriol directed at Michelle- is absolutely breathtaking. Do none of these people have any clue as to how this case originated? Have none of them seen this thread?
It's just difficult for me to believe that anybody could view this thread, or even Ty's single post in this thread, and still display such devout, drone-like, blind allegiance for Ty. The naive and nasty virulence that they have exhibited towards somebody who only wants to claim the prize that she rightfully won, makes me want to puke.

I am sure the legal departments involved are more than happy with his open admission of illegal activities. One can only hop you have that last comment of his in a screenshot to send to the proper offices.

Look at that short list of Ty's friends in the reptile world......birds a feather. Mendez, Crutchfield and Matson, what a wonderful crew to associate with. /sarcasm
 
Remember Jonestown? It appears that Ty's followers would glady "drink the Kool-Aid" and probably even fight over it.
 
"Ty Park I said that from the beginning that she's just after the money. That's why I won't settle no matter what as I hate greed. $5000 is nothing to me"

Then either pay Michelle, or send her the winnings,(the Tegu as described by you) as you mentioned, & set forth in your raffle!

You state and I quote "
I hate greed" and you're one of the greediest people I've ever known.

Good lord!
Park really has lost the plot totally!
I am really not sure just what he hopes to accomplish with his outlandish statements other than to whip his disciples into a blood frenzy!
ANY iota of respect I may have had for him before this thread went down the tubes after about 5 minutes of starting to read this.
And yes what a bunch of select cronies indeed, sorry but names guaranteed to make me run for the hills without reading anything else at all!
 
They sound awful paranoid talking about restraining orders and guns from someone who lives halfway across the country lol.

Ty needs to start a cult.....he would have a massive audience apparently.
 
Wow
They say we won't go post there

News flash lurker. Ty conveniently shut off commenting for the public. The only ines who can comment are his followers

Maybe because he thinks we are all losers

Tell him to open it back up. I think his Lies need to be rebutted.


His side is twisted but then again he only wants his followers to see his side. He thinks it makes him look better lol
