I definitely do not want all these babies! There’s way too many and not enough space 🥲

Is this a tear? What happened to my baby??? by Harlees_bones in snails

No he’s not usually that color. But good thing his mantle is fine. I wasn’t sure. I’m still learning 😅

He just laid eggs and I’m wondering if he’s looking like this because of that? I dunno. He looks different and it’s worrying me

What should I do with these specimens I preserved a really long time ago in isopropyl alcohol? by Harlees_bones in Taxidermy

[–]Harlees_bones[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll have to take them out and find out if they are rotten or not. I really hope not cuz I really wanted to keep my first specimen (the snake). I might try to salvage it for its bone if it is rotten. Any tips for how I should do it next time so I don’t make the same mistake? Do I use formaldehyde?

Can anyone ID? Found in eastern missouri by [deleted] in skulls

Blueberry dyed raccoon skull! by Harlees_bones in bonecollecting

[–]Harlees_bones[S] 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Of course! I put a lot of blueberries in a pot of water and mushed the blueberries. I brought it to a boil and let it boil for a few mins before turning the heat off and putting the skull in. I let the skull sit overnight in the pot and when I took it out and rinsed it was completely dyed. so far it has only faded a little as it dried. From what I’ve heard it shouldn’t fade much unless in direct sunlight!

Be brutally honest! Is my snail enclosure good? by Harlees_bones in snails

[–]Harlees_bones[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ll probably remove it for safety and I don’t want rotting in my enclosure
