Skeletons.

I found those beetles for decent price for starting colony of 1000 question can I feed Ts these beetles too or no cuz I'd rather only have one beetle colony lol

I'm not sure if they would make good feeders or not. Never seen any nutritional info on them.

On the other hand, I wonder if dubias would clean a skull. I have gave them left over pinks and they destroy them in minutes.

Hmmm

That would be something to find out. If a Dubai colony can strip a adult male rat, if you have an extra laying around you should try! Haha

Have you tried preserving any Ts? I've seen on live people did it by just coating the t in poly or something? It looks cool just like the living one

If it was warm out I think I would try it. A rat sitting in a 90* tub would be stinking up the house in no time :p

I did a little searching on dermestids as feeders and can't find anything. Some sites talk about how they add them to roach and cricket colonies to help keep the tubs clean.

I haven't yet. I have done local spiders. Just pinned them and let them dry.

I suppose I never think about how bad it will smell haha. I'm sure ill figure something out. I want to try making one out of a t one day and a snake would be cool I seen a retic skeleton in the local zoo it's sweet

This is something I've been working on:

Is that a goat? I'm trying to figure out when to start trying this the rat I'm gonna use is just hitting large may give him another week or so to grow. I'm sure the cleaning is gonna be no fun but if I'm able to do it maybe look into beetles

Yeah. That is a goat. A yearling to be specific. I have the horn sheathes off to my left.
