Taxidermy question.....

MissHisssss Oct 16, 2006 01:27 AM

Hi.... I have a question that I hope someone can answer for me. I found a newborn rattlesnake that was dead on a dirt road. It wasn't badly damaged so I brought it home and put it in my freezer. Now I'm thinking it would be neat to have it stuffed (or what ever the terminology is). Would this be possible with something so small and with it having been frozen?

Thanks for your time and knowledge.

Check with Kerby on the Kingsnake sub-forum. He is a taxidermist, and I know he works with rattlers.

I don't mean to sound dumb, but what is a sub-forum and how do I get there?

Actually, it's not really a su-forum. I don't know why I put that. It's the Kingsnake Forum located right below this General Forum.
