Although all my current herps are very far from passing I'm incredibly curious regarding the current legalities of preserving (retaining) deceased wildlife?
I'm a hobbyist taxidermist and know someone very skilled in the area who suggested mounting my snakes when they do pass (and my frozen blue-tongue)... while this I probably wouldn't do to a snake I've known for many years (different to a fox you've seen live for 20 seconds...) are there any permits required? Is it even legal? I'm thinking it might be if you don't plan on selling the finished "product"...
And cremation? I'm cremating my bluey but do you need to apply for permits to do so to licenced wildlife? If you retain bones or other remains (getting morbid, but I produce artwork with animal remains) is that any different?
So lost. :|
