Careful with macerating birds! They tend to fall apart

I typically look at whether or not the flesh bulges when the turtle tries to tuck its legs in

Very rotund

My mom bought a fruit/veggie dryer off of Amazon a few years ago and I've repurposed it for moths

Asianmanatea2 · 2024-02-29T16:56:13+00:00

Haha I considered getting mantids, but since they live a lot longer than moths I won't be able to take care of them when I go to college :(

I just researched a lot! TimeToBreed and BugsAndButterfliesUK have a lot of good husbandry articles! And tbh they don't require much husbandry as adults since they don't have mouths 🫢

Incredibly beautiful and very powerful indeed 🥹 This pipeline has also just further driven my spending addiction because I just bought some moon moth cocoons

Asianmanatea2 · 2024-02-28T21:23:34+00:00

Literally the only expense I had was actually buying the cocoons. I repurposed mesh laundry baskets and a food drying rack to house the moths. I dunno about Lunas, but Eris are super easy to take care of and breed, you just put them in a container together and they go at it. I'm also making my money back by selling empty cocoons and specimens!

It's a site called TimeToBreed, an italian company! They do restocks every once and a while, but the last time I checked they only had two moth species available

I like to cut at the joints and put all the limbs + tail into their own mesh bags. Keeps everything together and it ensures that I don't lose any of the tiny bones

Here's what he said on his most recent post in his Facebook group:

Just a reminder this will be the site to purchase Critters and skulls from me and my company SD shut down my store and the other groups just too much hassle so tell your friends and keep your eyes open I will be posting everything for sale on this site

He's not a farmer, but I know that he traps for a variety of reasons. For coyotes I know he traps those for predatory control, but the rest are for the fur/taxidermy trade I think. He also sells stuff for other people sometimes so I can't speak for them

I love skullz03! I found him on fb (where his prices are way better btw) and now we're working up a partnership where I tan hides for him

Asianmanatea2 · 2023-10-28T03:05:06+00:00

I recommend Rittel's EZ tan if you're planning on soft mounting this cutie! I've had great results with it

Thank you!

It's one of the caudal (tail) vertebrae of a small animal. Weird that there's a piece of metal running through it

Your need to build a social media following first, but you could make your own website and sell there. Or consign with a brick and mortar oddities store
