Thanks for liking them
Commissions vary a lot according to size and complexity. They can be anywhere from about sixty euros up to hundreds of euros. These salamanders would be around 350 euros but would be virtually impossible to post to the USA because of the risk to their fragile legs. Frogs & snakes are easier. My snakes are, needless to say, smiley, and they are generally tied in knots.

Do you have any pics of the snakes? I have seen some of your frogs..very cute. Would a snake or frog be around the same price?

Sorry I don't have any photos of them - it's a while since I've made any.
A snake is generally less work than a frog of the same size so they tend to be cheaper but it depends on the size and how complicated the decoration is.

A simple little snake would be cool...maybe one even colored after one of my own.

The exact colours would be too time consuming but I could do something inspired by them & you could see if you liked the result or not

Oh yeah not expecting it to be exact...but be able to make out that it's a ball python or some other specific species of snake.

I'm always happy when I see one taking a stroll on a damp autumn evening

Sadly, I've never seen one in the wild. I used to see a lot of other newts and salamanders when I was a kid, but they seem to all be dying off.

They're getting rarer here too. Farmers keep draining boggy fields and people clean up damp corners of gardens and lay nice dry concrete slab floors in old damp buildings. Progress and more comfort for humans but it leaves less habitat for frogs,toads, salamanders and newts.

And in the US, at least, there's a skin fungus that is deadly to amphibians. It's been moving steadily north over the past decade or so as the climate warms, and it's taking amphibians with it.

Fortunately we don't have that here (yet)

I knew they were dancing before reading the title at all. Great work!
