Turtle Shell

Hey guys my best friend damian just had his turtle die and he wants to keep the shell any better way or right way of doing this other then just cuting him out?

Tell him to take the turtle out to the woods and place it some place relatively protected place. If he leaves it there for several weeks I'm sure Mother Nature will clean the shell up for him.

Of course, depending on size and type there's always stew.

Which one was it? Please tell me it wasn't Donatello!:donatello::innocent::sneaky2::cool2:

Just find a large ant bed and lay it on top.

I was just wondering, is Kimmyhead a female?

Nope. Check out his MySpace link to read about him.

I found a dead box turtle and just left him there until there was nothing left in the shell. So it works well.

the fire ants do a great job. thet leave all of the bones in place that is what i look to get is the bones the shells are useful but the bones even moreso

Leave it to the ants!

profesional taxidermists steam off the unwanted things and they also use caustic soda< which is a product available at an autmotive paint supplier.

an easy way (already been mentioned) is to lay it on a fire ant pile for a week.

The ants will do a great job of cleaning it up.

Gotta go with ants, although personal preference is toss it in the crab trap and let them do the work.

Sounds like "caustic soda" is lye, aka sodium hydroxide.

Ah yes, shrimp and crayfish to a great clean up job also. Get them at the pet store, they all love MEAT. Buy a 10g tank for $10, fill with dechlorinated water, add dead turtle, add 3 crayfish, or 10 1 inch shrimp. Wait about 7 days. Done.

Change 75% of the water if it looks or smells bad.

Ever see what crabs, lobsters, and sand fleas do to a drowning victim?

I've never eaten a sand flee, and I try not to think about this whenever I eat anything that turns red after it's cooked.........
