Well besides breeding kingsnakes, I have also been doing taxidermy since 1974.

A few years ago AZ G&F had confiscated some poached gila monsters and they were taken to a reptile rehabilitation center. Unfortunately a couple passed away. I am mounting one for AZ G&F and one for the reptile rehab center so that they can be used for educational displays.

The first one mounted took a fist place in the Masters Division in the reptile category. Skin mount, reproduction head & mouth, sculpted tongue. I will be finishing the other one soon.
