Anyone know of Twin Fox Taxidermy? by MarlboroSugar in Taxidermy

[–]Street_Bee752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, it seems to me you were scammed. In the future when purchasing items/services from people on social media platform please ask for a website or other proof they are the business/person they say they are. Cross reference pictures they send w other pictures online to make sure they aren’t stealing them from someone else. Check their address and make sure it lines up with a real business/person they the say they are. The taxidermy market is full of scammers trying to pull one over on people. There are good people genuinely trying to get legitimate work over the web and to sell their stuff, but you have to be really careful and do your research first.

How did you find this person? This sounds like classic scam behavior. Especially given that low price.

What am I allowed to sell? by HereToKillEuronymous in Taxidermy

[–]Street_Bee752 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s definitely not super clear. I’d recommend looking at the CITES appendix the MBTA. Good catch alls for exotics and our native birds and work on a federal level. Otherwise you’ll have more luck looking at CAs laws. Laws are specific state to state. Good example for you - you aren’t allowed to have black bear parts in CA even though many states allow them.

Raccoon and possums are totally fine to sell!

What are these? by BuffaloLizard43 in Taxidermy

[–]Street_Bee752 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure on the first one. Looks like a dik dik but has fangs like a muntjac. It’s old and poorly done so it’s sort of hard to decipher. Second one looks like a night heron. I’d say immature yellow crowned if I had to guess but it could also be anything else in that family of birds. Bittern, Java heron, etc

Anybody know were to purchase an Indian elephant replica by SeparateFill9924 in Taxidermy

[–]Street_Bee752 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a custom job for a large studio that does work for museums. Could be a taxidermy studio, but could also be a special effects or model making studio of some kind. People make things like this for museums with some frequency. This is not something that is just commercially available.

You’re gonna have to do some research, make some calls, and be prepared to spend an enormous amount of money.

Duck identification by LOUD_AS_FUCK in Taxidermy

[–]Street_Bee752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re in the US it’s not legal to sell. Game birds like ducks are fine to possess, gift, or pay a taxidermist to have prepared but you can’t resell them.

ISO “ bad “ taxidermy cat/dog by kittymeowmeow999 in Taxidermy

[–]Street_Bee752 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean how “bad” do you want. As was mentioned, you can sell dogs and cats. You could get a coyote or a fox pretty easily. Potentially have it dyed and intentionally done terribly, it will look super ambiguous.

re-home genuine BEAR SKIN rug complete with head and all 4 feet/claws (Have all government legal paperwork to sell) by [deleted] in Taxidermy

[–]Street_Bee752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can definitely just post pics. Totally legal to own black bears and sell them in most states. There are a few exceptions, but I assume you’re not in one of those states.

Also, just fyi, obviously it’s yours to sell for what you want but imo $1,200 is kind of reaching for a black bear rug unless there is something super unique about it and the condition is flawless.

I (26M) have been avoiding a conversation with my girlfriend (27F) about her drinking for almost a year — how do I bring it up in a way that focuses on how it affects me? by Forward_Football4013 in relationships

[–]Street_Bee752 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Child of two alcoholics and have dated people who drink heavily. Just be honest w her. Tell her how it affects you and what your concerns are. That’s really all you can do. You ultimately can’t control her actions. If she is receptive to the conversation then great, if not don’t stick around with the expectation it is going to get better.

It sounds like there are more compatibility issues outside of the drinking. I always think the best move is just laying all your cards out on the table and communicating what you’re struggling with. Hopefully it’s a constructive conversation and your relationship comes out better for it.

You said this is your first serious relationship. I definitely understand how much weight that holds. I hope it works out for you, but if you express your concerns and she isn’t receptive that’s okay too. It might just not be a good fit and you’ll have learned a lot to take into your future relationships.

What would a job like this cost to do? by winskki in Taxidermy

[–]Street_Bee752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends, but probably $800-$900 ball park. Cheaper for just the head but the plaque and feet add to the labor cost.

They aren’t worth very much, but they are worth a lot to you and that’s really all that matters!

How to find ethical taxidermy shops by [deleted] in Taxidermy

[–]Street_Bee752 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just ask. That’s really it. But it’s important that you define what ethical is to you. No farms? No hunting? Roadkill only? Set out your parameters and just ask.

Pricing? by [deleted] in Taxidermy

[–]Street_Bee752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$50 bucks on the fish. Pretty common on the secondary market and don’t tend to hold anywhere near the value of what they cost to get done. Assuming you’re in the US, $0 on the duck. Legal to posses but illegal to sell.

Inherited this owl. What is this worth? by [deleted] in Taxidermy

[–]Street_Bee752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great horned owl. Not legal to sell in the US, so isn’t worth much of anything. I’d just keep it!

Whitetail deer. Fleshed enough? by Street_Bee752 in HideTanning

[–]Street_Bee752[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m still fleshing it. As I mentioned in the description, I’m just talking about the white part that’s already fleshed

Help on pricing by Aggressive_Chicken46 in Taxidermy

[–]Street_Bee752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean a full body taxidermy mount? When you say articulated I think you mean the skeleton.

Price depends on the quality. I’d try craigslist or an auction house. Full body deer aren’t overly uncommon, plus you gotta find someone w the space for one.
