Our first oxidation attempt was a success! This juvenile black racer turned out pretty good. Total processing time was three weeks : )

update on the oxidized juvenile black racer! posed and ready to dry, hopefully the tissue will shrink up and expose the bones more : )

Haven't been posting much on here lately but this is our new setup now that we've moved :) Our specimens intersperse nicely with our roommate's nicknacks

Finally put our op.ossum skull into peroxide, hopefully it's done degreasing and won't have to go back in

rehydrated the juvenile racer in h2o2 and was able to skin it : ) today it will soak in h2o2 for a while longer and then be moved to diluted acetone

Virgina opos.sum found in our neighbourhood :) not sure what caused the palatine fenestra to become uneven

#vulture culture #vc #skull #curio #teeth #mine #kae's curios #animal death #dead animal #bones #the incisors are such a pain to do. you do not see them :gun:#sorry we've been so inactive we're running out of space forr new specimens so we're trying not to buy/make too many more #plus we're moving in january so we'll have to pack all our shit up anyway lol #that being said. we need to clean out the freezer for diaphonization so we don't lose anything in the move. 2 sq.uirrel paws and 2 opos.sum #-joeys to work on. so just 2 batches ig #but we don't want them to come out yellow like the more recent ones we've done have :screamingcrying:

Finally, an intact oposs.um skull! We've found many dead where we live, but always as obliterated roadkill :l we broke off the top incisors by accident in our haste to remove the mummified flesh, but they can be glued back on once they're clean. If all goes as planned the spine and ribs will be articulated with the head and possibly mounted(?)

#vulture culture #vc #skull #skeleton #kae's curios #animal death #curio #dead animal #mine #cw unsanitary #not really guro ig #mummified #guess we'll just run a wire through the vertebrae and glue on the ribs #not sure how we'll attach that to the skull. might have to leave them separate

The four op.ossum joeys got here today! We skinned and gutted two of them, now they will soak in isopropyl alcohol to prep for diaphonization

The first two of the four opo.ssum joeys we ordered are done (aka we got impatient and skipped the last clearing bath) Depending on how attached we get, one may be for sale soon

Last batch of diaphonized specimens for the next two years, two oposs.um joeys and two squi.rrel paws. We're happy with how they turned out, but still sad that we have to take such an extended break from working on specimens 🥲

#diaphonization #diaphonized specimens #diaphonized #vulture culture #vc #mine #kae's curios #animal death #curio #dead animal #oddity #we have to stop making them bc we're moving to an apartment where we can't have the chemical #s we need to make them bc theyre a fire hazard 🙄#we might be able to get access to a lab at uni but that's unlikely since it's not for class stuff #skeleton #these pics arent great but we already packed them in boxes lol. moving tomorrow
