Hello all!
I work at a university with a meat lab and recently asked him if I could have a cow skull for decorating Squirtle's (three-toed box turtle) terrarium. They said yes and when I went to pick it up, I realized that their definition of "skull" and mine differed slightly. This is what I received from them. Obviously I don't plan on introducing it to his terrarium blood, flesh, eyes and all, but I do think it would be cool to add. I even read earlier about someone who sees there turtles gnawing on deer antlers from time to time as a sort of calcium supplement. Anyone have any ideas or advice against doing this? Or how to clean the skull quicker than just setting it outside and waiting for nature and a buttload of bugs to do it for me?
p.s. I'll leave the photos as thumbnails in case someone doesn't want to see a meaty cow skull up close.
Thanks,
