Ty Park has now become my reptile ambassador HERO. THE FACT THAT HE IS GOING TO TRY N RAISE $250,000 ANNUALLY FOR CONSERVATION EFFORTS IS SO GENEROUS AND SELFLESS, I'M ALMOST SPEECHLESS.
Man Dave....... I have been an avid herp. addicted enthusiast the majority of my life.... 45 years of collecting, breeding, importing, exporting... Buying, Selling..... Wholesale, Retail.... I’ve done it from MN to here in Los Angeles.. A few years ago I walked away due to the stress of financials mostly... This clip and most of your videos along with Kevin & Nerd remind me of why I have genuinely always loved herpetology and the animal kingdom as a whole... Keep inspiring and pointing people toward conservation and proper animal husbandry.. Wonderful well thought out facilities Ty... Awesome......
Legend has it that Ty Park's great great great great great great....................grandfather built the Ark! This guy is so cool, what a great thing to give money to conservation of the species we all love. Keep up the great work.
Can’t wait to see it completed. I watched a video from someone visiting Ty. I believe it was Kamp Kenan and can actually see differences already. Thank you Dav for taking us on a tour there.
Omg i love this guy ty hes AMAZING he REALLY is ....cant wait to see this place me and my kids will be traveling for 5 days to see this place cant wait omg
It is so entertaining to listen to a guy like Ty when they are so passionate about what they are doing. One day I'll take a trip to Florida and visit Iguanaland and Chandler's sanctuary.
Ty has got to market this better locally. I lived in North Port, basically two towns over for a year and never heard of this place! I would have been there all the damn time had I known it was there.
I have mad respect for Ty Park, he cares about the animals in his care deeply, and has much knowledge as well. Plus he is genuinely a very nice man. Reptile Gardens in South Dakota, does not take very good care of their Animals, when I was their on 97, I noticed many of their animals were thin and unhealthy, they had some small American Alligators in a pen the largest was probably 5 ft, and one of the workers there and I were talking about them, something I know quite a bit about after living in South Georgia for a number of years and having hands on experience with both wild and captive Gators, and I realized the guy didnt really know that much, then he proceeded to piss me off by stomping on the top of a Gators head while telling another park visitor about how hard their heads are, which is true but it's still abusive for a man about 6 ft tall over 200 lbs to be stomping on the head of a 4 foot Gator weighing about half that, suffering in the summer heat of South Dakota and a dinky cement pool of water obviously not getting the moisture it needed due to the low humidity there. All the Gators were skinny and lethargic.
OMG I can't wait to come see Tys IguanaLand!!! It looks absolutely amazing!! Thank for sharing Dav!! I love Ty he is amazing and a very inspirational man!!!
The pink cooler is gone. The empty rooms have some amazing stuff being done in there. Go check out Ty Park's on Facebook for updates!! Lots to get done still, but it's moving along.
Good concept, all those concrete ponds are a little archaic, that’s a 1970’s concept that in general has been usurped by more realistic environments. I think Kyle Asplundh has the right idea.
Really awesome to see what Ty is doing now! Can't wait to visit someday. I really admire his goals for conservation! How does he keep all his reptiles warm during cold snaps though? Does it just not get that cold around where he is?
Just such a cool guy who puts you in a good mood with his happy and informative talking. Thank you for sharing this is my first time watching your vlog and now I will continue to watch your channel! Greetings from Stuttgart Arkansas. 🐢🐊🐍🐢🐠🐡🐟❤
Another awesome vid Dav! This place is amazing, they have almost all of my favorite species of reptiles. I definitely want to visit when they are opening to public, hopefully I can meet you in Ty's place after the pandemic is gone!
Holy SHIT that sounds like so much fun to visit!! Already it looks so beautiful and I love how the animals who are already there all look so healthy and happy, not stressed and chillin in the sun, I can’t wait to see what it looks like fully finished!!
What I like about this guy is he gets stuff done and if you ask him a question and he gives you a straight answer. Who else would invest $4mio and would tell you without hesitating??
Absolutely fantastic seen tys place once before on TH-cam think it was kamp kenan didnt all the new enclosers on then looks amazing and what ty is doing for conservation is truly fantastic 👏 . Will be on my bucket list when i visit the USA🇺🇸 again .
I can believe it takes 4 hours to feed all the iguanas. I only have 3 Pac-Man frogs, 1 tomato frog, 1 American toad, 1 whites tree frog, 1 crested gecko and a leopard gecko and when feeding day lands on the same day for them all it takes a hour or so.
I can’t wait to visit and thank you for the tour. However, I found the question pertaining to money a bit off putting. His surname should tell you everything you need to know, if people were more culturally aware.
I'm confused. Not long ago you did a video in an abandoned zoo and talked about how terrible it was to keep animals in such small enclosures. The ones on this video seem just as small or smaller. I love both your channels Dav but I'm not sure what to think about this. I don't know anything about Ty but I support his efforts to raise money for conservation. With all that space it seems bigger and better enclosures could be built. Please let me know if I'm missing something.
It's all about balance and while Ty's place is all about education and conservation, a zoo from the 60s is anything but that. Also, for certain reptiles, a bigger enclosure is not ideal as it doesn't provide for a feeling of security. It's the opposite for birds and mammals.
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures Thanks for the reply. I'm always trying to learn. I meant no disrespect to Ty and, like I said, I fully support what he is doing for conservation. I'm not too far from him (south AL) and may visit when he opens to the public.
Ty is such a great guy! I'm so excited to see this place again in a few months. It's going to be a special place!
Me too! Had a blast down there with you!
Yes he is
Hi Clint, I think I’m gonna book a zoom call thing with u
He seems like he’s doin’ big thangs.
Yea he’s been doing great things.
This place is so cool! Such an amazing thing to see!
Exactly
Hi wicken, I love your channel too?
"It's my dream, so I'm just gonna do it." Awesome.
Ty Park has now become my reptile ambassador HERO. THE FACT THAT HE IS GOING TO TRY N RAISE $250,000 ANNUALLY FOR CONSERVATION EFFORTS IS SO GENEROUS AND SELFLESS, I'M ALMOST SPEECHLESS.
That dude NEVER sits still!! Hope he meets his goals!!
That’s gonna be a gigantic facility. That’s totally rad.
'Yeah its been my dream and im just gonna do it' - Ty Park
I love that attitude 😆
That was my favorite quote lol. What a great guy.
I really hope you also visit Snake Discovery when their zoo is done!
I will for sure. I'm already filming the my small part in helping to build it.
Wish I had 4,000,000 to play with, awesome video.

Glad to hear this!
The way that fly river was swimming was simply amazing, so so similar to sea turtles
I’m definitely going to visit once it’s open.
it'll be very worth the trip!
Legend has it that Ty Park's great great great great great great....................grandfather built the Ark! This guy is so cool, what a great thing to give money to conservation of the species we all love. Keep up the great work.
Florida! What a massive undertaking. It's all beautiful
It makes me smile every time the intro plays that you kept Brian screaming in the permanent intro.
Can’t wait to see it completed. I watched a video from someone visiting Ty. I believe it was Kamp Kenan and can actually see differences already. Thank you Dav for taking us on a tour there.
Its hard not to love this guy honestly
Ty Park has to be one of the greatest people on this earth
Love what he does for the animals.
I love this dude he seems excited about every thing he does
Ty is such an awesome guy I'll be your first customer to see your iguana zoo all the way from West Virginia can't wait
I love videos with ty, he seems like such a good hearted dude
He really is!
I've seen this guy before on you tube. Seems like a really genuine man who loves what he does. I can dig it!
I am half Australian and my nickname since I was little has always been The Perentie.
And I adore them and monitors in general.
Amazing words from Ty "its my dream and im just gonna do it"
I hope there are enough reptile enthusiasts locally to support such a huge facility.
I hope it will create new reptile enthusiasts
This place is going to be wild, and I like this guy’s attitude he’s a go getter. He defiantly sees the bigger picture.
Omg i love this guy ty hes AMAZING he REALLY is ....cant wait to see this place me and my kids will be traveling for 5 days to see this place cant wait omg
I can't wait to visit once he open up 😊😊😊
You guys are so lucky to be friends with tye ......im going to try to go to iguana fest 3 would love to get there and meet all you guys

It is so entertaining to listen to a guy like Ty when they are so passionate about what they are doing. One day I'll take a trip to Florida and visit Iguanaland and Chandler's sanctuary.
Three awesome dudes. Great vid bro.
Can’t wait to visit!
Ty has got to market this better locally.
I lived in North Port, basically two towns over for a year and never heard of this place!
I would have been there all the damn time had I known it was there.
So amazing! Definitely a place to visit! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year! Rattle on!👍🎄

I need more content ! Morrrrrreeeee
Great video will put it on my to do list
OMG I can't wait to come see Tys IguanaLand!!! It looks absolutely amazing!! Thank for sharing Dav!! I love Ty he is amazing and a very inspirational man!!!
You are so welcome!
Ty is awesome, his facility is top notch with so many amazing species! Would love to visit that place
The pink cooler is gone. The empty rooms have some amazing stuff being done in there. Go check out Ty Park's on Facebook for updates!! Lots to get done still, but it's moving along.
Great video Kaufman! Ty rocks and of course so does Clint! I enjoy your collabs.
Dav the boys need the merch link we’re trying to snag some of them shirts
It’s in the video description
Really Cool Place I Hope To Go There One Day ❤️
Such an incredible vision Ty has!!!
Good concept, all those concrete ponds are a little archaic, that’s a 1970’s concept that in general has been usurped by more realistic environments. I think Kyle Asplundh has the right idea.
Thats just fantastic! More reptile zoos
That beautiful lizard tie matches your shirt talk about accessorizing
Wow!! What an amazing place!! Just beautiful!❤️🦎
Oh my goodness this is incredible! I didn't really realize he was making a public facility! I can't wait, I definitely want to go!
I have been waiting for this video. ty has perenties!!!
So excited for him! He seems so pumped! I gotta go see this place when it opens! What an undertaking!! Holy crow!
This is SOOO Awesome what u r doing here. Keep up the good job. 👍😉🤩
Really awesome to see what Ty is doing now! Can't wait to visit someday. I really admire his goals for conservation!
How does he keep all his reptiles warm during cold snaps though? Does it just not get that cold around where he is?
Hope you had a great Christmas Dāv.
This is insanely awesome.
Youve given me so many places i gotta see in person!
Another banger video with lots of information thanks legends ty and Dave
6.17 that turtle. Painted River Terripan I sent to him.
Just such a cool guy who puts you in a good mood with his happy and informative talking. Thank you for sharing this is my first time watching your vlog and now I will continue to watch your channel! Greetings from Stuttgart Arkansas. 🐢🐊🐍🐢🐠🐡🐟❤
When I buy a lace monitor I’m going to get it from ty park.
Another awesome vid Dav! This place is amazing, they have almost all of my favorite species of reptiles. I definitely want to visit when they are opening to public, hopefully I can meet you in Ty's place after the pandemic is gone!
Thanks for the excellent content like always beautiful video.👍
Ty is the OG of Cyclura
Amazing place! I totally would have flipped that board too lol
Right? How can you pass up a board like that?
Ty seems like such a good guy!
this is so awesome
Australian Water Dragons- I am going to have to get on a the list for those...
"Its my dream and im just gonna do it"🤣🤣🤣
Holy SHIT that sounds like so much fun to visit!! Already it looks so beautiful and I love how the animals who are already there all look so healthy and happy, not stressed and chillin in the sun, I can’t wait to see what it looks like fully finished!!
This is awesome. Thank you.
Thanks for the video buddy!
What I like about this guy is he gets stuff done and if you ask him a question and he gives you a straight answer. Who else would invest $4mio and would tell you without hesitating??
Couldn't agree more!
This place is going to be amazing 😍❤️
all i can say is wow just WOW
Awesome video!! I cannot wait to make it down there when it opens!!
We all have to make that pilgrimage!
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures yes!! We do! I gotta keep track of the ever growing list of pilgrimages to take with you when covid is done, lol!
Absolutely fantastic seen tys place once before on TH-cam think it was kamp kenan didnt all the new enclosers on then looks amazing and what ty is doing for conservation is truly fantastic 👏 . Will be on my bucket list when i visit the USA🇺🇸 again .
I want to work here! Can you ask Ty if there’s any going lol😂
I'm sure there is!
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures I’ll have to book a flight from England 🤙😂
this is so coolio bro, its ridiculous
I agree!
"It's been my dream and I'm just gonna do it."
This is why I love and respect him
Rattle On Rattle on! More Cow Bell!
Heaven came down to florida and it brought a shit ton of herps
I wish he was more local to my area. I would love to help him paint the murals on the walls.
Man, I missed a Ty upload?! I'm rabidly catching up as I type...
Pooh-paya trees haha!
Awesome
Fuckin crazy, I wish I had room for one big monitor, then I see this lmao
Nice!! Insane how much money time n brainpower it takes to build stuff like this!
Anything called IguanaFest sounds like my kinda thing 🤣👌
@Dav Kaufman, it's not the size of your subs, it's how you teach them.
I can believe it takes 4 hours to feed all the iguanas. I only have 3 Pac-Man frogs, 1 tomato frog, 1 American toad, 1 whites tree frog, 1 crested gecko and a leopard gecko and when feeding day lands on the same day for them all it takes a hour or so.
Man u should get iguana i got 3 beautiful ones
Imma have to land me a job here one day
I can’t wait to visit and thank you for the tour. However, I found the question pertaining to money a bit off putting. His surname should tell you everything you need to know, if people were more culturally aware.
Is it me or do I feel like the whole smiles and attitude is just a script for every episode?! This is TH-cam not a movie...
Where abouts is this place ? 😍

Where is this place located? It looks amazing
Near Ft. Meyers, FL
Awesome thank you! Will have to plan a trip when it opens.
Wow
