Im really itching to this pelt, however I'm so new to taxidermy its not even funny. Whats the difference between a wet tan and dry one if I may ask?

a wet tanned means it wasn't dried out after tanning. it can be dried and broken so that the skin turns to leather like normal. Most people like wet tanned skins for Lifesize mounting.

Would drying it mean leaving it out? Salting it? I'm not sure what broken means. My apologies for the many questions. I used to be one of those people that said how could you? Blah blah could say I matured since then I've thought about getting into it for years but been so intimidated. I make sculptures using fake fur and always wondered about the real thing

drying it out means that it just needs to be left out and as it dries it needs to be broken by stretching the skin. As the skin dries and you stretch it the skin will turn white and to leather, there is no salting needed it's already tanned there are youtube videos on it. 

it's okay! I don't mind lots of questions.

I see thank you for the explanation ^^ watched a couple videos and read some posts think I have a good understanding now I decided to say what the hell and purchased the pelt ^^ figured if im going to learn anything it would help to have something physically in my hands and get my hands dirty.

I got tired of waiting for the head stuff so started  sewing/stuffing him/her up still got one more arm to do. Since I make art dolls I fly through those steps pretty quickly but sewing for this one took so much longer that fluff makes it hard to see xD

This fox is really beautiful Im so glad I got to own it. Ive been debating wires. I do like the floppy nature but on the other hand wire will give more realistic joints and poses but can be awkward sometimes if you wanna cuddle it no sure which I should do yet

Beautiful pelt! What's the difference between the tans wet and regular? Does it affect how well preserved they are or no?
