All That Remains..... (Mambo's Mounted Skeleton)

So it's been about roughly 4 months since I had to euthanize my dear Mambo (Panther Chameleon Am)..Had him for four years...Rather than burying him I decided to preserve and articulate his bones. And after four months of working on him on and off between work and school I have finally completed him...

Wow! What a fantastic memorial! I love this! Great job!

 

[Eltortu]

What's the smell like?

 

[dbford88]

Thats awesome, very cool, how many hours did it take?

 

[Mambo]

Maxttu: thank you sir, it's much appreciated..

Eltortu: lol, no smell at all.

dbford88: thank you as well...hours??? Gee whizz, I couldn't tell you...let's say alot...but not as many as you'd think..wish I'd a filmed the process, would have been pretty cool..

thats gangsta!!! I just buried a 18 year old leopard gecko. I shouldve done what you did. Did you freeze him and them use bugs to help decompose him his flesh?

 

[CunningMoss]

Very interesting, great craft.

 

[Mambo]

Sulfurboy: Didn't freeze him so much as dry him..But yes, I feed him to bugs..

 

[JonRich]

Dangg!! Looks great!

 

[Eltortu]

Sulfurboy: Didn't freeze him so much as dry him...And yes, I feed him to bugs..ironic isnt it?
Moss: thank you

What kind of bugs?

Im guessing carpet beetles. They use them for skull cleaning, and cleaning out the dead in cricket breeders.

Inspiring memorial to anyone that has lost a cham.
How are you attaching the individual bones to each other? Superglue?
