There's probably a better board for this, but I'll try anyway. I found a nearly perfectly preserved dead dried up frog in my crawlspace. I'd like to preserve it if I can.For dried-up specimens, amphibians like this.. Is a preserving in some sort of solution (like wet specimen type thing, not sure the names) an option? Or am I better off just throwing it in a jar? I don't really want to look at it or handle it, but my sister is into shit like this so I figure I'll put it together as a gift.
its already preserved
Put it in a big jar of dessicant and really suck all the moisture out of that sucker. Otherwise it sounds good to go.
>>2986968Try farting on it.
Evan and Katelyn do a youtube show with an annual pumkin preservation challenge. they might have some tips. salting and smoking should kill stuff that would try to eat it, like making jerky
>>2986968I'd leave it dry. The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum has an exhibit with a dried up frog that's supposed to be hundreds of years old.
>>2986968Just leave it there
>>2986968>DeadFunny thing is frogs can sort of hibernate for the longest time.Once found one buried under over a foot of compacted sand, which had accumulated over (at least one) winter (that was in the summer). Thought it should be dead. It wasn't.
