Once our inventory is depleted we will no longer carry bats. There isnโt a clear ethical way to source bats and when we purchased our stock from a retired oddities seller we were not made completely aware of the unethical sourcing despite people who sell bats stating that it was from bat farms or under the guise of pest control when that is not always truly the case. We want to preserve items to celebrate the life of an animal, not destroy them for the sake of art. Due to this we will NOT be buying any more bats in the future once our stock is finished. We do encourage Schools and Educators to contact us if they would like to purchase for Educational purposes, we will be happy to discount any specimens being used for educational purposes. *Once our current inventory of any Bat related items has been depleted, we will no longer be offering any Bats or Bat products* Please note: Pictures are an example of the one you will be receiving. These are real skeletons so the heads could be positioned differently in some of them. p45 # This is a very nice Framed Fire Bat skeleton that would look wonderful in any collection or for educational purposes. This guy is framed in a Black wood shadowbox with a glass front and a Black fabric back so he stand out nicely. This display is approx. 4 3/4 x 3 3/4 x 2" and can be stood up or hung. This is a nice heavy frame. The back can be removed so you may view the skeleton or clean the glass. Species- Kervoula Picta The painted bat, fire bat or painted wooly bat is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is also known as "butterfly bat", "rongin chamchika" or "komola-badami chamchika" in Bengali. The majority of Bats are most active at twilight and are considered to be a Totem for the doorway between Realms. Bats usually hang upside down while resting and thus can be used as a symbol to help one have new levels of perception about ones life. On skeletons displays we just want to make sure that you are aware that a bone or two can shake loose in shipping. This is rare and generally very minor but it can happen. It is a very easy fix and we walk you through it if it happens. There are no returns or refunds for bones being displaced in shipping so we just like to reiterate to our customers that this can happen and make sure you are fully aware.We do offer a video that shows you how to repair if this should happen to your specimen. Just let us know and we will direct you to the video. ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ท๐ฒ๐ฌ ๐๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ผ - ๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฎ ๐ถ๐ช๐ฌ๐ช๐ซ๐ป๐ฎ ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ผ ๐ถ๐ช๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ช๐ต ๐๐ฎโจ NOTE: If your item is in a glass dome please be aware that the domes are NOT permanently connected to the base.
