honestly... I am already in the process of getting my studio area set up for something to that extent... I recently stocked up on 11 boxes of polymer clay... and I need some more paints that closely resemble the colors most found on snakes!

my thing is... how much do I charge for things like this? I have no idea how to price it... because I am not greedy, I dont want to charge an arm and a leg, but at the same time, I need to charge reasonable amounts to compensate for the work, time and the detail I put into them... so once I figure that all out... you will see something more

Well, I guess the bottom line is how much do you want to make on an hourly basis? Do you want to make money or just break even? Assuming you were to sell every one that you make (maybe idealistic!) and you get into a rhythm, then (materials + time*hourly rate) = price. A more realistic value would account for loss, breakage, unsold items and maybe even the dreaded tax man.

the packing method I used to send wayne was actually highly simple... but it worked well as I can see. I took a plastic chinese takeout container and I taped him with scotch tape to the bottom of it. I put some aspen in for padding just in case... and I put the lid on. I packed that in the box with newspaper... I really can't see a fairly flat snake breaking easily at all that way

i am taking all those things into consideration though... I'm a pretty realistic person I just dont want to be like ZOMG THIS 4 INCH SCULPTURE IS ONLY $586739395

Scary that I almost posted a very similar comment.

May I ask if your screen handle has anything to do with wolves?

Shannon, he still refuses food, any ideas?? should I brumate?

In the event of a successful breeding, do you want half the litter?

Ok, I could get really bad, I'll stop while the mite spray dries.
