Yes, actually. I am hoping to receive a bloodparrot/flowerhorn cichlid from Msjinkzd. I am hoping to receive a bearded dragon, ball python, frog, 2 flying geckos, and chinese water dragon and a viper gecko. Some of these are juveniles, so we'll have to see how these turn out. It can be hard to do juviniles, since their bones have not completely ossified. The bugs will eat them whole if they can. It will give me a chance to try a technique for more delicate specimens.
Not doing much at the school right now due to summer break. However, I just set up a mini-dermestarium. Check it out!

so do you do this for school work or any particular reason or do you just like taking things apart and looking at how they work. cuz when something breaks. i bust out a screw driver and take every little thing on it apart
i am fascinated and so very envious you have the option to be doing this in an actual proper lab setting! those bones look great. i've only ever cleaned messy bones, and only with a lot of time and chemicals. those beetles make it look easy ;D
That is very ccool, where was this when I had my ichthyology class, I had to take apart and reassemble a Pacific Barracuda, Sphyraena argenta, that I caught. Putting the skull back together was a major headache.
Where is your lab? After we did this project my professor was looking into better ways to do the assignment.

Yeah, I do this for the universities museum collection. Each specimen is labeled and boxed up, and can be looked at later for classes or studies.
