01 Alligator length

Skinning and European mount prices use the alligator’s length. Skin-on head mounts use a separate head measurement, entered with that option below.

Required for skinning or a European mount. Enter feet as a decimal: 8 feet 6 inches = 8.5 feet. Final measurements are confirmed at intake.

ft
02 Meat processing

Gator patties, cuts, and portions for your freezer.

03 Body & rug-style mounts

Available on request. Choose one to include in your quote plan, or continue to the separate hide and head options below.

Choosing a mount reserves your hide and head together for a custom quote. It replaces separate hide and head finishing selections; those charges will not be added.

04 Hides & leather goods

Choose hide preparation or finished alligator leather goods and accessories.

05 Heads & taxidermy

Skin-on heads, European mounts, and rustic heads. Choose one finish for your head or skull.
