What do u do with Snakes that have passed away?

I was thinking about this the other day, i do not have any snakes that have passed away but i was thinking wat do yall do with them i was thinking it might be cool to have them skinned and mounted imagine a 5 foot skin of a Killer Spinner or some other cool looking morph i know some might say thats mean but hey its dead and i have seen plenty of mounted rattlesnake skins


mods help cant make a poll options are
1. Bury
2. Trash
3. Cremate
4. Skin and Mount

I have always buried them, but I am debating on if and when the time comes that my morphs die I may mount them.

i was wondering the same thing. im curious to see what people are going to say. my normal who was my first snake i would prolly stuff and mount somewhere in my home cuz shes my favorite. maybe if i produced my own babies who were amazing i might do the same thing and have them in a reptile room or something

Burial via the local landfill. I put them in the trash.

Done. :)

I haven't lost a snake yet...but if I did, I'd probably bury it. I don't find it "cruel" to skin and mount an animal....but I wouldn't get anything pleasurable out of it either. Never cared for the idea of dead animals mounted in the house.

Thank you JLC and i just think it would be cool to kinda have in my snake room to have a skin from a nice looking snake that passed away on accident and maybe see about gettin the skeleton too on display that would be more of an educational thing because when some ppl think snakes (not us) they think ew big nasty worms so it would be cool to show them the bones

I was forced to trash my first snake loss. I put her in a shoe box and taped it shut then in my apt dumpster, RIP. but the first snake i owned a burmese in 5-8th grade was lost in a garage fire where her custom closer was built. VERY SAD :( rip again

still debating on mounting or burying, i love my BP and its my first and only snake so far and parting with it will be really hard. but i am leaning on burying.

UMMM I BURIED MINE I HATE DEAD THINGS I DIDNT EVEN GET IT OUT OF CAGE WHEN HE PASSED BUT HEY WAT U DO WITH YOUR BODYS IS NOT MY BUSINESS:weirdface

fava beans and a nice chiante :gj:

LOL...who invited hannibal?

cremation, but i work at an animal hospital and it's free. I may consider skinning and tanning , it would be cool to have the skin.

I haven't gotten around to tanning my reptiles yet, but I have a lizard skin and two snakes to take care of in my freezer. My friend is taking the bones and mounting them, she is a biology major at the local college. Snake bones are a pain to deal with for me. I prefer bigger mammals. I'm keeping my snakes in one form or another, I'm not going to mount them because most amateur taxidermy looks creepy and I don't want my former babies creeping me out, but I'm thinking of framing them as a hung picture kind of thing. I don't mind dead stuff and it helps me remember the time I had with them. Also makes me want to do my best for those who are still around so I don't feel I have to save too many bodies. I'm curious to talk with anyone who has done any taxi work with herps.

RIP to my lost ones <3 gone but not forgotten, sweeties...

If they were healthy I might think about feeding them to a monitor or something like that. That is if I had one xD But since I don't I'd probably see about making some awesome snake skin boots... Or buried if I was really attached.

the only problem i see with burying my snakes is eventually im gonna have alot of holes in my backyard after many years of collecting and breeding eventually they will all die hopefully it will be 30 years from now but still thats alot to bury and alot to skin so i think i would bury my first 5 mount the cooler ones i have and then trash the rest

I think a mounted skin would be great. Funny, I think it's weird to stuff a dog...

But it's probably a moot point, since Fang will no doubt outlive me.

creamation is what i do

Wait maybe I should be like the idiot people around here and just dump my dead animals off the bridge into the creek by my house. :bleh:
