| thought id share this, i bought an adult male p.cavimanus a while back but unfortunatley it died. i found it on it's side one evening twitching but it perked up an was moving fine after a night in ICU but kicked the bucked by the time i got home the next day. i decided i wanted to preserve it rather that just throw it away an this is the result    came out ok for a first attempt an is currently sat on the side in my living room | |

| Nice job. The worst part when I preserved one of my scorpions was taking out the guts... not nice. | |

cheer's, yes removing the gut's is not a nice job. i just used hair spray on him but will get some clear lacquer to completley seal him at some point | |

http://www.scorpion-forum.com/t5406-how-to-perform-a-scorpion-taxidermy?highlight=scorpion+taxidermy i think it may have been that thread i found when searching how to do it online. i didn't have any blue tack so left the claw's closed i also threaded a thin bit of wire into his tail with a T shaped bend on the inside to hold it up. was going to fix him to a flat bit of wood but nicked the bit of wood from one of my snake's viv's to mount him on. it still glow's under UV light i thought that would fade once they passed away - *~BEX~* wrote:
