Skulls:

We have established many large colonies of dermestid beetles in our studio and they are

always hungry for more skulls! Here are a few guidelines and tips to make your skull's

journey more successful.

     •  All skulls must be prepared before shipping. Please remove excess meat and any
        vertebrae.

     •  Freeze solid and wrap in double plastic bags.

     •  When shipping, place in a heavy cardboard box with newspaper or foam to keep skulls
        frozen while in transit. Also, pad tips of any horned or antlered animal to prevent them
        from poking through the box (pieces from a garden hose work really well).

     •  Enclose a list of items in each box with your name, address, phone numbers, and
        hunting license number.

 

PLEASE NOTIFY US BEFORE SHIPPING
