Dude I want your deep freeze!! If you ever have a passed away snake you want to sell I would be so interested haha I know weird I just seen one in there so I figured asking you wouldn't seem weird haha. Are those bats in there? If I find a dead bat around this year I'm gonna grab it up ha I find them alot up here. And you have some cool skulls I wanna visit your place dude you got so much cool stuff! O an muskrat was my first one I'm gonna try bleaching then painting it one day just for poops and giggles lol

[carlson]

I ment muskrat was the first one I trapped not first skull lol

[3skulls]

If I ever get one I can part with.
That's one of my Carpet girls that passed away with cancer a couple of months ago

Yep I have 2 bats in there. A bunch of small furry types. I keep thinking I'll do something with them one of these days.

I'll look around this week and see what else I can dig up to share.

[3skulls]

Oh and that fox skull is pretty freaking cool too

[carlson]

O ya I'd never ask you to part with one you couldn't that's why it's a weird request lol I didn't know how quite to word it. I've read that the Beatle way off cleaning will keep the bones connected still so you can place them how you want then spray a sealer on it an that will freeze it in place. Not sure on it yet tho I may try it this summer if I come across a good bat.

I was so excited when my co-worker found a cormorant under the boat lift dock at work. I'm a sucker for bird skulls. I've worked with some rats and partial roadkill for articulations (and craft bits, depends on what it is)


Pets can be hard to work with. I've always wanted to articulate a cat skeleton in a reclined pose to guard the book shelf, but they're very expensive. My cat has been buried long enough that I know there's a perfectly good skeleton to work with, but I just can't bring myself to use him

I also read that they keep almost everything intact. When boiling and bleach can loosen up some parts of the nasal cavity. I would love to work with them some day, I wish I had a shed or something out back.

I stopped the other day to pick up a huge deer but it was rank :p

In the summer I find dead snakes on our driveway at work. If I find anything thats in pretty good shape, I'll send it out to you.

Bird skulls are really cool.

I'm glad there are others out there that like this stuff :p

[carlson]

That would be awesome, I'm thinking a tub of the flesh eaters in my shed for summer wouldnt be bad and I could get the skeletons easier. I'm upset the rat I wanted to work with died in his cage when I was at work an I didn't find him till next morning stank and chewed on I had no desire to use him so ill try again another time. He had some weird brain problem I think and the cage mates chewed after he died.
