There are gonna be some people who would be appalled or even disgusted by something like this and that’s usually because they don’t see the beauty in anatomy and preservation. I love the music by the way
If you use an aquarium heater and change the water daily, the rotting process will be done within a week or so. Before you dry the bones, soak them in a 2 - 3% solution of Hydrogen Peroxide to make the bones really white (their true colour as bones are mostly calcium). If you have any oil problems (common in larger animals mostly in the shaft bones like wing, leg and arm bones) you can soak the fully dried bones in automotive general purpose thinners (this may take a month, 6 months, a year.....). I've been doing this for almost 50 years so I have slowly over time developed a system that works. You can also use sodium hypochlorite (easy to get from farm produce stores) if you want to try to macerate to a degree where everything is still articulated. You can clean off the remaining bits of flesh by dipping in sodium hypochlorite and gently using an old toothbrush (I actually use new ones but they don't get anywhere near my teeth at any time). You have to be super careful to not leave any part soaking for too long as this chemical can dissolve bone given enough time. Every animal is different and you'll need to experiment to find the amounts, strengths and times that work for you. All the best.................
Thanks a lot, man. I'm really new to this kind of stuff. I want to do it to my mother's turtle, it died yesterday, and I know mother really loves it, so I decided to preserve it. Thanks again, dude. This info really helps. 🤝
Ok i found this video it makes it so much easier but i still wonder if this will work for snake, and this separation thing, should i do it too? Just with diffrent parts of the skeleton? So it would be easier to segregate it??
I am about to embark on this process to preserve my baby that just passed and I have zero experience doing this. Not sure what I’m getting myself into, I’m sure I’ll hate myself for it.
well, what kind of baby are we talking about? 😳 and for yound specimens there's a more gentle way to work on it, so you need to consider that it's fragile bones that are yet undeveloped and contain mostly cartilage need to be treated very carefully otherwise they could be lost easily
@@skinlesscarcass6662 Thx! For taking your time to reply and a friend of mine has hens and lot of new chicks recently. He said he'll give it to me if any of them didn't make it .

thank you! I have come long way from that project and really improved my methods 🦴 and using some of these suggestions by now 🙏
Great job love the soundtrack
I keeping hydrosaurus celebensis i want to taxidermy him but the way is kinda sad😢😭
Dude, may I know what specific glue you used? Thanks in advance.
nowadays the best glue I use is called "zap A gap medium CA+"

Hey! It looks great. I want to do a chick (baby chicken) to pit in a glass dome. Does it smells a lot ?
small animals smell less, becahse it use less water and less bacteria, also less to clean.
good luck with the chick! younger bones are much more fragile and less developed. so carefull
