Khai from Rushden, attends The Bedford Sixth Form, where she is taking A Levels in Law, Sociology and Psychology, and hopes to follow a legal career. But in the meantime, dealing in oddities is her passion.
Her dad owns The Reptile Shop in Castle Road, Bedford, is that where her hobby began?
“No, Dad’s baffled by my interest. I just found it fascinating and am self-taught in the skill,” said Khai.
Via her Instagram account The.Mad.Hippie and commercial sites like Etsy and Ebay, Khai sells stuffed animals and ethically sourced curios, to “the massive community” of collectors.
The items include examples of preservation, bone articulation, taxidermy, mummification and more.
