hey there everyone!

I have a mature male that will eventually pass on and I was thinking about what I will do when he does..

Of course after crying bitter tears when he does, I am not sure what I will do.. Burying is a option I know but if I could preserve him someway I would..

Is there a few ways of preserving them?

What do u all do when one of ur huge/small Ts pass on??

I Put mine in Bottels with formalin but i saw some nice stuff at Cerats house yesterday that Scarab made for him I think. It was a shed skin in something like melted sperspex.Looks like its in glass. Dont know how he does that but it surely will work with a dead T.
So i suggest you ask him how he does that and then you also let me know :laugh:

I have seen them as well, its some sort of resin. the problem there is u need to somehow remove the Ts insides as they cook during the process and then the resin cracks... looks stunning tho!

The spiders in resin at Cerats house are not exuvia, they are dead males. It is a bit tricky to get it done properly, but if you MUST keep a dead spider, resin will last till doomsday.

found this while googling... Scarab this is a painful process... is this what u go thru?
