Description

These specimens are from crocodiles that have been farmed for their skin and meat and the skulls are a by-product of the farming industry that would otherwise be discarded. We salvage these bits and pieces and treat them with proper love and care to create these incredible croc skull masterpieces.

Farmed crocodiles range from 1.8 to 2.2 metres in length. The length of the crocodile can be roughly calculated by multiplying the length of the skull by 7.4. All skulls are unique and will vary in some degree in colour, size, shape and form.

The Process
The flesh of the crocodile is fused to the bone of the skull and cannot be skinned like the rest of the animal. The skull must be boiled to remove the skin effectively. Often boiling will cause the teeth to fall out which means the teeth need to be glued back in leaving a shine around the jaw. Our secret recipe for cleaning skulls means the teeth don’t fall out and all the teeth are left in the gel that naturally sits around the tooth cavity and sets like a glue. By using this method the teeth mesh perfectly together when the jaw is closed and means the skull can be displayed with the jaw either open or closed.
