So glad to have stumbled upon this Mountain Lion a little while ago! I'm fairly certain he's a he. God I'm so in love with this skull. Seeing it cleaned up with the fur, and the dried flesh removed from him. I can't wait to hit him with peroxide and see him shine!! I do have most of his Skeleton. I hope with what I can piece together that I'll be able to get a clearer picture of his life, and death. Pictures just don't do him justice.









I have NEVER been more inclined to name a inanimate object more than I have since I found him 🤣

So someone gave me a little squirrel to work on. In the process of having my beetles strip it. Well they got a little over zealous and ate like 95% of the whole damn thing. So I did this to try and salvage what I can. It looks a little frosted from the spray I used to set everything but it's grown on me. I might be making more of these.

Shaking off the ring rust here. Trying some new things. I never really saw myself being the artistic type with bones. But more a supplier, and bone cleaner for those with that decorative, beautiful, artistic gift.
But here they are just some little day projects.
All are for sale!

Got a long way to go setting up the new house. Just happy to finish these guys up today. Rabbits are simply amazing.

So, things finally worked out to where I can work on some skulls again. I can't thank those involved enough. There's two cows and this buck here. So I'm gonna take extra care of these babies. I have a few plans and projects to run through. But things are finally picking up, and I'm so happy.
I cannot express my happiness.

Also I'm not boiling the skull, just heating it up enough for the left over flesh to shrivel up and loosen so it can be power washed off.

I'm so happy with how these turned out. I still have others I'm working on. All have to do some fluid changes on some. But my goodness the chameleons turned out so well. I'm gonna stop buying jars from Wal-Mart and see if I can find some plain jars and fancier ones online or wherever. Thank you my dear reader. Just thank you 🤗

Hello, I have so much to say, but I'll try to keep it short. Thank you all for 515 followers! really. I didn't think I'd reach this many people. And something I'm sure most of you wonderful people can relate to is mental health problems. I've had the sudden realization I can make wet specimens and still do a form of taxidermy with my current living restrictions! But, finding the joy, and energy, to do so is hard. And to keep up this account. So the fact I can come back and have more of you than when I left is amazing and I am so thankful. Its a long journey until things are just where I want them. But I'm giving it my all. If you've known me awhile you've known for the longest time I've said I'm headed to Florida! Only for it to be pushed back rather often. At this point I'm gonna just focus and buckle down. But the goal is to this year. I'll stop there. And I'll thank you all for your continued support! 😁 I love you all!

Also the animals pictured in order are a veiled chameleon, of which there are two. A red eyed crocofile skink, and a snake of which the name escapes me. I'll edit this someday to include it. (Thats a lie I'm gonna forget as soon as I post this)
All are for sale. Dm me if interested 🤗

I've been trying to sight see before I move back to Florida. Museums and Zoos are some of my favorite things. But what stood out to me when visiting the Museums. Is that you can acquire almost everything there if you have enough money 🤣 the dinosaur skeletons can be from 350 to 55,000 and up. The skulls, bones, wet specimens, skins, and furs. We're treated differently by the people who saw them. So many people were fascinated and loved what they saw! They didn't ask in a disturbed way "where everything came from." So I just had a hard time understanding why people are so different when you do things on a personal level, instead of a professional level. When its all the same love, passion, and process. Food for thought I guess 😂

As the weather warms up, it is time for me to come alive again! 😌
Working on a few things to sell before I relocate to a temporary residence before I make my move back to Florida. I believe I have 4 spines I'll be working on this week. I'm so excited to finish them, they've been sitting in my shed since winter started! Wish me luck 😄

This was the roadkill deer I found a bit ago in the last picture. I got his spine all together, now I just need to add the ribs and the last few tail bones. I got it cleaned up really well too. I had to clean both sides of every vertebrae because that stubborn connective tissue wont come off when heated or during maceration. Its rather enjoyable but tedious. I'll show how I do it next time. But im wearong my Jurassic Park shirt. Its one of my favorites. My love for reptiles, other animals, and bones started with the prehistoric. Learning about the past creatures through their bones as a kid no doubt added to my passion for modern day bones 😌

Its good to have skulls so white its difficult to take pictures of them. Now that ive gotten this far the key is to properly degrease them. Keeping them this way is the next step. Im getting good at this and im so excited 😂

I made another! Things have been slow. I have been sluggish with my work lately but I'm slowly making a come back. I'm gonna make a few more rats like this. He was originally going to be a full skeleton but he fell apart and I couldnt get him back to his former glory. I salvaged what I could but in the end I prefer this result.



You dont often see cow skulls with the lower jaw, I wonder why that is. Theyre gorgeous and cleaning up nicely.

The signs said to watch for cows. But three of them got hit. These cows having dark fur, I imagine would be extremely hard to see at night especially after driving long empty open roads. I almost died driving some of this stuff home. The smell was stronger than most. But i lived 😂

Todays projects! I want to articulate a coyote and keep it in my house by a recliner because I would like having a dog, but I personally dont have the time or ability to care for one of my own. I made a few mistakes but doing this made me EXTREMELY excited for my next few projects.

This piggy is on its way. So glad I got one of them ready for a peroxide dip. Id love to do a full body articulation of a pig. But not only that but id love to compare the skulls between domestic pigs and wild hogs someday.





The coyote skulls are cleaning up nicely. I think I'll leave them with this nice tan color.

But while the racoon skeleton will take awhile cause its barely heating up today. These two piggies are next in line. I'm gonna give them 5 days with the water heater. I didn't spend much time removing the meat off of these guys cause well I don't mind if they take a bit longer in the bucket. And these pigs really weird me out. They're unlike any animal on earth. Ive worked through my phobia with spiders. But these guys may have slipped in and taken their spot hahaha. But again these mesh bags have yet to prove themselves. They may be hard to clean but if they can give me a nice result itll be worth it even if i have to buy replacements. This is really saving me time if i can do both of these guys at once.

Seriously im in absolute aw of this racoon. He was a big male racoon and I cannot express how excited I am to finish this skull. I found a young racoon that fell victim to rabies back in FL. His canines haven't come in yet. But this guy was well into his age. I cant wait to put his teeth back in when he's finished. And to build his entire skeleton back up as well. That'll be a first for me so we'll see how it goes.

First deer skull almost done ☺
It's been so much fun learning a lot as always, I made mistakes and have a lot to learn going forward. Its been a process which wasnt always pretty until today! im in love with it and I can't wait to start more projects! 😄

I did a squirrel today!
Not much to say about it. I could rant on the ear bones i believe they are, the round ones in the second slide. And how difficult they were to put back in. But im getting better. Really excited about this stuff. The third picture is next to the rat skull i did. So far this is the biggest one ive done so far.

I love my skulls. Theyre not quite perfect. But theyre something, i did my best! My hobbies relevant to this channel such as Snake hunting, Skull cleaning, owning Reptiles, photographing the wildlife i see, and Bug collecting, are just the animal related things i love to do. And its only serving to keep me happy, busy, and learning. Do what you love!
