TaxidermyXTaxidermist in Ponchatoula, Louisiana
All Species Taxidermy is a taxidermy studio located in Ponchatoula, Louisiana, operating as a full-time shop that serves sportsmen looking for mounts that look good, last, and remain affordable.
Owner Jewell Chatellier runs a studio that emphasizes all phases of taxidermy with a particular specialty in alligator work while still catering to a wide range of species.
They position themselves as a full-service studio, with strengths in big game, birds, fish, and especially alligators.
They work on big game, small game, birds, waterfowl, fish, reptiles, and miscellaneous or exotic species, with a strong focus on alligator taxidermy.
Available mount styles include shoulder and gamehead mounts, full body mounts, European skull and horn mounts, bird and fish (skin and replica) mounts, rugs, tanning, and custom habitat displays.
They note that over the last 15+ years they have learned what most sportsmen want from a mount and have built the business around those needs.
Reviews that mention workmanship describe the mounts as great and well done across different species, including alligators.
They publish a detailed price list covering most services, with example prices such as around $750–$850 for common deer shoulder mounts, $1,000+ for many small predator full-body mounts, per‑inch pricing for fish and snakes, and length‑ and configuration‑based pricing for extensive alligator options, while quoting unlisted and custom work on request.
They state that the studio is set up to provide relatively quick return times, and at least one reviewer reports that their mount was finished within the promised timeframe.
The studio offers custom bases and habitats, executive glass cases, larger multi-mount showroom designs, skin-and-head rugs for alligators, panels, and a full showroom you can visit, and they also provide pickup, delivery, and custom crating for shipped mounts.
Reviewers who comment on quality describe the taxidermy as great, with strong recommendations especially for alligator mounts.
Feedback on service is mixed, with several customers praising Jewell as a top-notch, highly recommended provider with amazing, comprehensive service, and one very negative review warning others away without details.
Turnaround is mentioned positively in one detailed review that notes the work was completed within the stated timeframe, and overall reviews are few, so information on consistency is limited.
All Species Taxidermy is based in Ponchatoula, Louisiana, with a studio address on C.C. Rd and a mailing address on Chartreuse Rd, serving hunters and anglers from south Louisiana and beyond.
You can visit their showroom or call the studio to review the price list, confirm current turnaround, and plan a custom display for your next mount.
