Professional animal preservation in Brisbane?

[Harry89]

December sucks, every year, and this year is no exception. My leaf tailed gecko has just passed away and I am looking to see if anyone knows a person who cleans carcasses and pins bones in Brisbane? I have never undertaken such a task myself and would rather not risk damaging or deforming his bones trying with no past experience to preserve him. He is in the freezer for now while I try to find any way to not let him go and also to let me shed a few tears. I know this will always happen with any living creature, but it doesn’t make the event easier to face.

Many thanks for any information at this stage.

Thank you
[doublepost=1578351207,1577939810][/doublepost]Does anyone know of a person or business with a wildlife license (for deceased native fauna) who does bone articulation? It really seems to be a forgotten art form and limited to a few companies in Victoria as everyone else works with the skin, nothing in Queensland really. Also I have discovered it's illegal for me to clean and prepare him myself, very heavily regulated...

Thank you for the suggestion, I have an enquiry running at the moment with someone, but will keep this in mind.

goodluck mate, Id be sad if I lost mine or any I have in the future, lizards have such a unique presence. I can see why youd want to keep yours forever
