Description Bio
Name: Jango (Star Wars reference)
Type: Arctic Marble Fox
Origin: Texas
Acquired: =HeartbreakFox (2012)
Not for Sale or Trade

Literally, three days prior to Heartbreak so generously offering Jango to me, my roommate, and I were discussing what type of soft mount fox we wanted to get. We had unanimously decided on a marble and then BOOM Jango XD!!

Though he's not technically mountable by standard definition, I sent pictures of his damage and a full description of his issues to my 'ace in the hole' taxidermist. They said they could mount him no problem so...! He's my next commission plan after Artemis

Do you have any pointers as to a good source to purchase an arctic marble from?

DeviantArt, etsy and taxidermy.net will be your best bets for locating an arctic marble . Are you looking for a wallhanger or a mountable one?

Either one, but preferably mountable.
Thanks, I'll have to look around!

While looking at this photo I understood that I have never seen such fox before.
But when I tried to google it, I was disapointed... So many pelts and fur coats and just few photos of alive animals

It's hard to find pictures of live ones. 99% are used for coats and such and there's only one breeder in the US who can legally sell foxes like this as pets. I'm hoping they'll become more popular in the next few years. I really would love to get a pelt fox instead of more pelts XD

It's the fur of a fox that was once alive. He'll be use as crafting material to be made into one of these: [link]

I use them for artistic reference for my comic like so: [link]

No worries, then animal was not killed my me. He was humanely killed in a fur farm, but after exchanging hands for a while, I got him and will have him turned into a piece of art .

It is sad that it's dead, but he'll still be loved and appreciated in my home. I would have rather have him as a pet then a pelt, but I respect both living and dead animals equally.

Would you believe it's actually a replacement tail XD? Apparently his old tail was either damaged or scraggly so she replaced it .
