May I ask, if you remember, what was the first taxidermy related thing you ever got? :3

Yes! It was Rowena, my coyote soft mount. She was just a pelt at the time (:

Neato. ^^


The first thing like that, that I ever received, was a little white rabbit pelt, when I was probably around 8 or 10 years old. My Daddy had taken me to a local flea market. This guy was selling rabbit pelts (some dyed, some natural) and I fell in love with them. :3 I still have it to this day, hung up on my wall. It is dusty, ripping, a bit smelly, and yellowing some now, but I still adore it none the less.

That's an impressive wolf.

is the fith pelt *one by the silver fox tail* a cinnamon fox ??

He is a Sunglow fox. A very unusual and huge one.

Oh wow lucky you he has a amazing pelt and is huge haha

I get shivers every time I see that sunglow <3

I love how he's got like, a black marble tail~

Yeah it's real unique!
You can tell it's his tail though by this:

To be honest the leather was weak in the tail and I
accidentally stepped on it and it didn't come off but it's barely on
I sewed it (shitty) but I I will make it look better sometime xD

He IS huge though good lord

Think maybe he's a cross of red and black marble? Golly his tail (and everything else) is supa gawjuss. I would chop off the tip pinky on my left hand for him if he was mountable xD too bad chopping off body limbs isn't an acceptable form of currency :c -sigh_

But yeah tails are always a weak spot, after splitting and fleshing theres only a tiny strip of leather holding it on.. can't tell you how many tails I've broken just trying to flesh lul

Nah that's not possible. Black marbles are arctic marbles, and red marbles are from red foxes.
Sunglows foxes (also called red marbles) actually often have black on them if you look at a few.
He is just heavily marked which makes him so unique, they're usually like this:

Or have even less marking

SUN GLOW FOX (Red Marble) (AA BB WMW)
Colour category: Marble colour mutations
Responsible colour factor: Arctic marble + Red (or any marble + any fox with red melanin).
Habitat: Captivity 
Morphology: Bigger than the typical Red foxes (max 35 pounds instead of 20-25 pounds).
Characteristics: Nose can be red, brown or black. Eyes can be yellow, hazel, orange, green or brown. Pattern's repartition and color amount are variable.  Sun Glows usually have black ear tips, and the rest is orange with white. The "Sun Glow" gene carries many recessive/dominant color mutations, and, when bred to a cross fox (for example) it produces Cross Marble, Sun Glow, Cross, Arctic Marble and Red kits, if nothing else.
Extra: When a Sun Glow is bred to a Sun Glow, the kits are called "Red White Marble" or "Sun Glow White"  and are almost fully white in colour, to the exception of some faded yellow/orange markings on their forehead and/or base of their tail, but they carry the "Sun Glow" gene still.  Sun Glow foxes are called ''Red Marble''.

Looked up the sunglow/red marble morphology.. so they're a mix of arctic marble + a red, or possibly another red marble.. so its a possibility that one parent could be arctic black marble and a red marble/sunglow! Or just a plain 'ole redfox carrying the red gene ;)

oh snap EDUCATION

screams and runs from the knowledge

-chases after you yodelling, throwing information at you-

But yeah I wasn't sure myself, thought i'd double check heh. But at SOME point in the gene pool/family tree, you're right.. one parent HAD to have been a red fox! Even though its a possibility its other parent could've been another sunglow/Red marble! I learned that marble's urine is less smelly than a red... I was gonna get a fire&ice live kit, but I think I'll stick with a marble! Now whether I want a red or arctic black.. that's a tough one..!

I love how everyone's falling in love with that Sunglow fox and yet here I am like DAT DEER HIDE. <3 I'm envious of your collection!

Haha yeah! I do love my axis deer!
