QuestionMy husband and I found a dead turtle that was decomposing. I wanted to keep the shell and am not sure how to completly clean it. We put the shell in a bucket of bleach overnight and I am not sure where to go from here. It was a snapping turtle here in VA. Can you please help?
AnswerDebbie,
Sorry, I don't know how to preserve a turtle shell. You might want to try contacting a local taxidermist.
Here is a link to a quick discussion I found online:
