Most have articulated skeletons which are fully poseable; she also offers non-furry sculpted pets like &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/wood-splitter-lee.deviantart.com\/art\/SOLD-Boo-The-Fantasy-Pet-465904219\">Boo<\/a>,&#8221; which come in their own little habitats.<\/p>\n<p>She appears to mainly sell her creations through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebay.com\/usr\/woodsplitterlee\">Auction Adoptions<\/a> on eBay.
