I have a bird skull that I've been unsure how to clean - this seems perfect!<br /><br />A note about aquarium heaters, they work great, but make sure you keep the heater clean! I used one to macerate an elk cow head in cold weather, and over about a week a layer of stubborn gunk (bacteria? unsure, it was dark and smelled awful :) ) started building up and eventually shattered the glass heater. I should have been more on top of brushing it off!Adairnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540004930810199220.post-10259280790608405842014-01-21T16:05:42.808+00:002014-01-21T16:05:42.808+00:00whoop whoop.

Govt schools. /: <br /><br />I live in Germany now and its pretty rubbish about sciency stuff. Like, apparently its even illegal for me to pin insects. I just gave my 300something insects to the University of Johannesburg because I had nowhere in SA to store them and I couldn't bring them over. Would have preferred to give them to a school, but didn't have the time or transport.<br /><br />Goodluck with the bone project!Charlesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540004930810199220.post-19404305370051095762013-11-14T19:17:10.581+00:002013-11-14T19:17:10.581+00:00Hi Jake I am a science teacher from South Africa a...Hi Jake I am a science teacher from South Africa an I would love to speak to you about doing piglets.

Great job in sleuthing the alternative usage!! To me, The Greylag Goose was the most impressive. I have always just par-boiled my bones (just short of a boil) for several hours to loosen & clean them so I do not see why a bottle sterilizer would not work. ;)Living Charactershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831285385423935937noreply@blogger.com
