Description Dubbed "Humphrey". Adolescent camel skull who underwent some dental reconstruction. All front teeth were remade and the front of the lower jaw. Akin to "Henry".

This skull belonged to a deceased camel from a petting zoo, it was and is treated with care and respect. Don't like it, don't look at it. No one made you click the submission.

Do you make your teeth out of epoxy? I have a bobcat with one missing incisor and I've been struggling to figure out a way to recreate the tooth without it standing out too much, as its teeth have a more polished, ivory look the them compared to the teeth of this camel.

Yes, we use epoxy for our repair work including recreating dentition. If you need something more polished and like enamel, I would recommend dental acrylic or something like translucent sculpey.

What did you use to make the bottom jaw and teeth? I have a camel skull too with the same problem :/

What about bone repairs? Like missing pieces of the bone? My Camel skull is missing some bone on the front of his lower jaw where his teeth sit and on the sides of his jaw

Really awesome skull! Camels are one of my favorite creatures. I just added some articulated camel foot bones to my collection.
