hello! recently collected this small brown anole and am looking to collect their bones. i’ve had success cleaning larger animals but figured this process might be a little different for something so tiny! any advice is helpful i’m still pretty new to the hobby.

I found this at my job, just wanted to know if it's a cat or a chicken

How do I clean the nasal cavity? And can I use toothpick for it

Is it ready for the peroxide bath? It's way more whiter off camera with only a few light gray areas

Little guy was a hedgehog till now:/

I found it on the sidewalk. It has no internal organs and I want to prevent it from rotting while I pin it to my wall. This would be the first time I've done any vulture culture stuff.

Nature found partial raccoon tail bracelet

Hehehehehehehehehe

I found this in a park next to a river! I'm in new England, north east USA if that helps for ID. I don't really know anything about bones, I just thought it was cool I saw such a big one. (Yes, I was stupid and touched it bare handed, don't be dumb like me)

Picked up a medium/largish possum that had been on the side of the street for a few days. I know the most accessible way to clean the bones is maceration, but what steps should i take to prepare the carcass for that? should i try to remove as much flesh as i can before maceration? and if so, how should i dispose of the flesh? and as for dumping/changing the water when i start macerating is it okay to dump it in my backyard? ive not seen wild animals (besides possum, rabbits, and a very rare raccoon) in my area, so im not too worried about the smell attracting animals (unless the ones i mentioned would be an issue- do enlighten me if im incorrect!). as for after macerating, i know that ill need to degrease the bones in water and soap (i’m going with Dawn) then whitening with hydrogen peroxide-any tips on the whitening would be appreciated! Thank you for your time!

I just buried my pet snake, and want to keep her bones to later restore her. Problem is, dad won't let me keep her in the garage or outside. We unfortunately have a neighborhood cat, and I'm worried about it or any other animal digging her up. Is there any way to prevent it from happening? Any essential oils that I could place around that they wouldn't like? Objects? I just can't bare knowing that she'd be subject to another animal defiling her corpse, after the entire reason for her death was her escaping and my cats killing her.
