If you preserve it , you will need to pickle the specimen , preserve it in 70% ethanol, and wide mouth jar. You will need to top off the ethanol occassionally throughout the years and replace it completely after seven years. If you want a skeletal system , you will have to order Carrion Beetles online , make sure you watch them as they will eat a small portion of the bones.

Sorry bout your loss. I had never even considered a skeleton or preserving it. Not to whore the thread, but any pics of skeletons or preservations?

I defleshed the head of my big old SAL to get the dental plates out. African lungs have even bigger mouths, one of that size would have an impressive set.
