Black Bear Skull + Rainbows (2016)
Persian cat skulls, adult and kitten. I am honored to have these in my collection, and sad that their anatomy is Like That.
Ohhhhh Dried Pickle Man is going to look so funky once he passes and I have him cleaned.
I would die for Dried Pickle Man
He was indeed a funky little dude.
More pics when I feel up to it, but behold, the Tusk Eternal.
Memento meowri.

Whoa!
Just out of curiosity - what's wrong with owning taxidermy bats? I have an interest in taxidermy and I like purchasing vintage pieces and I'd like to know if there's an ethical or safety reason not to acquire bats. I don't have any, but wouldn't have paused at buying one. Maybe I should?
Great question to ask; I would definitely pause on buying one especially if it’s from an online store like eBay.
Bat skeletons and taxidermy have become hugely popular among oddity collectors over the past decade, but unfortunately there is growing evidence to suggest the vast majority of these specimens are harvested unethically. Many threatened and vulnerable bat species are among those hunted to satisfy this demand. Bat conservationists and the IUCN have advised to refrain from buying any type of bat remains in order to protect their populations in the wild.

Bat taxidermy can be found across the internet and scientists fear they're being poached from the wild to satisfy the trend.

Bone mandalas! I talked to the creator and he said he finds them and his friends who have farms let him collect there. I asked if he wanted credit or a link when I posted the pictures I was taking, and he said something like "just say they were made by some crazy old hermit in Granite, Wyoming."
We'll find it

@talesfromtreatment and I have an ask for our fellow corn snake keepers and breeders.
We're gathering information on corn snake size by age and we need community scientists like you to provide the largest possible body of data.
@talesfromtreatment will be using the information gathered to build an accurate, statistics-supported corn snake growth and feeding guide based on ACTUAL data from ACTUAL corn snake keepers like you! I'm just the numbers gal.
Here's what we need:
Your snake's age (in years)
Your snake's weight (in grams)
A top-down photo of your snake's entire body with an inch or centimeter reference. (see photo below)
All of this information entered in our online form, linked below or copy/pasta: https://forms.gle/QtAwmiFa6fpBewFs8
https://forms.gle/QtAwmiFa6fpBewFs8
We'd love to get data on older snakes, younger snakes, fatter snakes, skinnier snakes. If you've got a corn snake we want their age, weight, and a photo of them with a measuring device.
Photos don't need to be fancy, just give us a top-down view of your snake and a ruler/tape measure/yardstick on a flat surface.
The survey is anonymous and we won't share your photos with anyone nor use them for any purpose beyond collecting morphometric data for this specific study.
Please please please help us collect as much data as possible. Share with your reptile-keeping friends, signal boost, submit your metrics, and stay tuned for updates!

I am already getting some fun numbers that have shown me 3 of my own snakes, that no-one would would call obese to look at them, are building up their internal fat deposits and need to be put on diets.
Committing science for animal welfare is fun and useful! .... and Ivomun, Peter, and Larune are going to be very sad that the meeces pieces are being reduced for a while.
