Question 1

Where do I buy one of your items?

Accepted Answer

There are two ways to purchase one of our items

-Online- We do not always have inventory available for purchase online. We do scheduled drops of many pieces posted all at once to our Etsy page at www.Etsy.com/show/ShowtimeTaxidermy. Typically we sell out quickly. This year we are working to have more drops with a larger amount of inventory available. Our current schedule is to have four online drops in 2026. The first will be January 31st at Noon Central time. The following drops will be in the spring, summer, and fall of 2026, dates not yet announced.

-In Person- We vend a booth at a few shows each year at the Oddities and Curiosities Expo. This year we will have a booth at the Houston (3/14 - 3/15), Austin (6/27-6/28), San Antonio (8/1 - 8/2), and Dallas (9/26 - 9/27) shows. Limited amounts of our stock will also be able to purchase at the Bright Side Studios booth at more of the Oddities and Curiosities events. We cannot guarantee stock at each expo they will be vending at, but we are working hard to have availability at as many as possible. Their show schedule is posted on our front page

How much does your work cost?

Accepted Answer

The prices of our work varies by pose and costume. The cost range is $190 - $230

free shipping is included with our online sales.

Question 5

Do you offer custom orders?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately we do not have the availability to offer custom orders.

Question 6

Can I be put on a waitlist for your future sales?

Accepted Answer

Sorry, but we do not have a waitlist. If you are planning to purchase one of our pieces during an online sale we highly recommend visiting our Etsy store at the exact time of the drop. We also advise you do this on a computer since inventory doesn't load as quickly on Etsy's mobile site.

Question 7

What animals do you taxidermy?

Accepted Answer

Currently we are only creating taxidermy using rats.

Question 8

Where do you source your animals?

Accepted Answer

We buy our animals whole and frozen from breeders that supply feed for carnivores. After the taxidermy process we refreeze the leftovers and then send them off to another artist who uses the bones to make art and jewelry so there is very little waste in the entire process.

Question 9

Do you taxidermy pets?

Accepted Answer

Sorry but we do not offer pet taxidermy. There are artists who specialize in this kind of work but it is not something we have the availability to offer.

Question 10

Do you ship outside of the US?

Accepted Answer

Currently we only offer shipping within the US. Hopefully in the future we can expand to offering shipping outside of the US.
