This Croc actually hangs on the wall swimming down at about 45 degree angle. I thought the pictures looked better like this so you could see how colorful he is.

Jerry,

Is there some indication on the scales of what the original color was on the croc, or do you just go with a 'feel'? Just wondering how you decide the correct colors.

Beauty of a mount!!!

He is 11 ft Sgraves

Graybird,
As far as coloring goes , I never do anything from memory or just feel, I always use lots of live reference photos, reference will show that they vary greatly in color. A lot of clear close up pictures from the hunter would help.

what does the average gator mount go for? around $300 a foot? I've always wanted to get one mounted with the tip of its tail in the corner of the ceiling and its head on a floor base, like its swimming.

Do you ever replace broken off teeth when you mount them?
