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

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

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(?)

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 馃ゲ
