2012年8月25日 · It is too late now as the maggots have already got to it. A snake skeleton is a horrendous nightmare to put back together. That is why you use dermestids. You skin and dry the carcass in the position you want, let it dry and then let the beetles have it. They will eat the flesh off the bone and leave the skeleton mostly still intact and assembled.

2022年10月9日 · I recently aquired a dead snake and have decided to rearticulate the skeleton. Unfortunately, the ribs have separated from the vertebrae and I quickly realized I have no idea what I'm doing. My main questions are: How do you differentiate the right and left ribs from each other? Do the ribs stop when you get to the caudal vertebrae?

Use the Search function on here and see if the old post on snake skeleton assembly comes up. Macerating snake skeleton or similar may also find it.

2018年3月5日 · Maybe some remember me talking about doing a ball python skeleton and not daring to start on it. It took some long time, including long period without working on it and taking dust but it's finally done, so I thought I had to show it here ! There are some things I'd like different but the pose I choose was difficult for a first one I guess.

2006年10月26日 · My 15 ft burmese python skeleton I will section probably 3 ft at a time and feed the beetles, I've only cleaned its skull to date. Personally, I wouldn't clean a snake skeleton any way other than with dermestids now that I have my colonies. I hope this answers your question Rattlerguy, basically it depends on the snake's size as to what I do ...

2016年3月11日 · Ditto to what Sea Wolf said. I did a 14' python by maceration. Separate the head in one bucket and section the body in 10-15 vertebrae sections (I ran a string through the spinal column to keep the vertebrae in order).

2006年12月13日 · This is the time ants will go out and scavenge as much as possible to take back to the colony for the winter month. They can clean a small bird skull or snake skull in about 24 hours. Other then that I had never had any luck with them. A whole skeleton is most likely going to be too much for them and the cleaning will be incomplete.
