    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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.....

    =====================


    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....

Just wanted to recommend this guy to anyone looking to purchase a herp.
I have delt with a lot of people in the reptile trade and he is by far one of the most professional and nicest guys around.
I got a Cyclura cornuta from him and he is healthy and the transaction was one of the most pleasurable I have ever had.
 
I also had a great experience purchasing a baby Rhino Iguana from Ty. The lizard was in great condition and has exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend him.
 
He is also a pleasure to deal with when the roles are reversed. I have done business with him for the past two years.
 
He's been around for a while and he is mentioned and has pictures in that new book "Lizard Man". The one written about Bert Langerwerf and he knows a lot of well known herpers. Great guy to deal with and get information on herps from.
 
Ty is by far, one of the most knowledgeable, and HONEST breeder/keepers you'll ever meet.

I would recommend Ty to anyone, anywhere, anytime!

I have sold to Ty a few times and I have been very happy with how well and quick the transactions went. I never had a problem or worry about him "making away" with both beardeds and money. I will GLADLY continue to sell to him.
 
This guy is very terrible to work with! I had several tegus for sale. He contacts me to purchase, then as I agree to work out a deal he is becomes very rude and states "I have been doing this for 36years, you do not know what your talking about." As someone who is so called a known breeder as he says. it is very hard to believe he has the ability to sell anything. Then he tells me to ship all my tegus to him then he will pay me. Now that is kind of insane don't you think. Why would anyone want to send there animals free, then receive payment?

I have proof of email that he wants to buy the Tegus and his excuse is that my fauna account didn't have any record? i was really surprised to hear that great of an excuse. He then says after I am nice enough to call him back after he hung up, "I don't talk on the phone, I want to email instead." This person does not deserve to be someone with a great reputation. He thinks he is the number one breeder of the world. If he was the number one breeder in the world they should be kind and have respect to those that he is trying to purchase from.
My advice is to not purchase anything from Ty Park! He will waste your time and definitely be rude!

Last but most important. He sent a Tegu that was severely injured and had no way of living. I have proof of her terrible condition. He states that the tegu must have been stressed during shipping. I asked for a refund or replacement and he said "a sale is a sale!"Ty Park should not be able to buy or sell to anyone. He is very very rude and does not have healthy animals at all! Please stay away for your own good, or take a risk if you please...
 
This is so sad that he make up things that is not true. I decided against sending him Paypal first because I caught him a lies couple of time on the phone. I decided at that point it would be wiser if we went to emails instead so we will have record of conversation. He has a post on Fauna stating that he has a female black and white tegu that is 2.5 years old and 4 feet long that laid 64 eggs and had 57 healthy babies. I can't prove that information is not true but in my experience, it seem unlikely. His last statement about buying a tegu from me is such a blatant lie...its really laughable. He has no proof that I sold him a tegu because I never sold him one. Please be careful of him and I would not advise anyone to send him any fund before seeing the animal first.
