#G-209 GATOR HEAD SERIES, and "LOT N" SERIES, NILE CROCODILE HEADS ---------------------------- LOOK FOR THE RED BANNERS BELOW |
DANGER, DANGER, DANGER!!!THESE AMERICAN ALLIGATOR SKELETON HEADS ARE REAL, from a gator farm in LOUISIANA. THESE ARE ALL CONSIDERED "JUMBO" SIZE! Here's an example so you can appreciate just how big they are and how many we have, here's our stash under just one of our tables!
The AMERICAN ALLIGATOR (Alligator Mississippiensis) is the largest reptile in North America. The first reptiles appeared 300 million years ago; the ancestors of the American alligator appeared 160 million years ago and it has not changed since then, indeed a modern dinosaur. Gators are found only in the Southeastern United States and China. 12 FOOT MAN EATING GATOR'S SKULL!
Remember, prices include insured Fedex ground shipping anywhere in the continental U.S.; other states please inquire. The skulls you see in the photographs are exactly what you would receive. WE ONLY SHIP GATOR SKULLS WITHIN THE 50 U.S. States & Puerto Rico due to CITES restrictions, no out-of-country shipments, no exceptions. |

Here is Glenn restoring a typical gator skull. It is a picky, physical and time-consuming task. You will note how white the skull is, as he A. bleaches and cleans every one, B. glues the parts together (remember skulls are made of numerous pieces and, like a puzzle, need to fit together and be glued or they would fall apart, since there is no skin or muscle to hold the skull together), then he C. removes all the teeth (many are split, broken or the wrong size teeth have been put in the skull, also many teeth are just missing). Then he D. uses batches of loose gator teeth we keep on hand to fill in all the spaces of the appropriate sizes, and glues them in place.

Lot 100 AWESOME SKULL Clean skull, BIG teeth! (2 canines alone worth $200) 20" real alligator skull $345 |
Lot 101 Gator Skull 20" long $315 |
Lot 102 Exceptionally large teeth 19" long $300 |
| Guess what this is...is this a shoe insole? No. A fly catcher? Nope. Give up? |
It's an alligator tongue! It's real leather. Remember, when the gators are legally hunted and processed, 100% of it is used. Nothing is wasted! These are usually made into WALLETS or BELT BUCKLES. |
| How
can you tell the difference between a CROCODILE head and an ALLIGATOR
head?
1. When the mouth is closed, a croc's teeth STILL SHOW, and a gator's does not. 2. Gators have BLUNT heads and horny backs; crocs have less bumpy skin and longer, narrower heads. Other facts: 3. Crocs are found in Africa, Asia, Australia & the Americas. Gators are found only in China and the Americas 4. Most if not all crocodiles are considered endangered species. Most gators are not. |

(Skin on)
Gator heads
(Heat dried, coated in polyurethane, the cut end is painted black, unless otherwise specified; marbles replace eyes) From a gator farm in Louisiana, these are AMERICAN ALLIGATORS (alligator mississipiensis). They were endangered but have now achieved protected status. As such, numerous regulations exist to safeguard this great animal and provide for its future survival. Every farmed gator is assigned a unique number by the Dept. of Wildlife and Fisheries to ensure that only legally harvested gators are used for the products that put them in such high demand worldwide. This number is written in felt marker in the side of each gator's jaw. The gators are raised for the hides. By law, the whole animal must be recycled. Soooo.....the guts go to the cat and dog food companies (animal byproducts!!), the meat is eaten locally, and the feet, heads and teeth go into the tourist industry, as you see here. Are you sure you really wanted to know? |

customer RUSS in WISCONSIN
sent this photo of the gator head he bought from us, mounted on his BOAT! A real "Lake Placid" moment!
(we advised him to make it removable, or keep it protected from the weather as often as possible). Russ has added a comment: Heidi, thanks again. Its getting lots of laughs on the water, but Spalding my potbellied pig is suspicious of him. I think its the teeth. |
