Has Anyone Ever Shipped a Full Mount Croc?

[Outdoorbound]

I have a croc sitting in SA, about a 13.5 footer. Their cost per foot over there to mount is way cheaper that prices in the US, but curious just how bad shipping would be? Has anyone ever shipped a full mount croc from SA to the US and if so, how scary was the shipping cost?

Bringing this back to the top of the chain. I am in the exact same situation with a 13.5 ft croc on its way to Splitting Image. Debating on taxidermy options. A wall mounted full body would be awesome. Any insight on recent shipping cost for a full body from S. Africa to the US would be very helpful.

Watching. Croc is on the list in 2027. I've been admiring some of the metallic finished skull mounts in bronze I think. Will be interested to see other options.

That's going to be a very long and heavy crate. You'll save getting it mounted in SA but your shipping + crating costs will probably make it the same or maybe even more.
