I had a client call today that wants his $ foot iguana mounted, this would be the first one for me.

#1  what is the best way to tan it?

#2  should I cast the head?

#3  Are there any bodies on the market, or do I have the cast or wrap one?

#4  how do you price out a job like this?

  I need all the info I can get, I know I can mount it well if I take my time but I will need a little guidance
  All help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
         Daniel

Daniel, you do need Tom's video.  You have to cast the head and a carved body works great....  Good Luck/  Dan
