Skulls & Cleaning

NO BOILING NO HEAT whatsoever is used in my process.

Mounts Unlimited Taxidermy carefully clean all specimens with the sole use of Dermestid Beetles. Museums and Universities have been using this method for nearly 100 years. Finally, each specimen is degreased and whiten using non-toxic earth friendly compounds in the process. This procedure is an essential step that will ensure an attractive and sanitary trophy display piece. Our skeletal cleaning is available to the public and private interest alike.

Wholesale skeletal cleaning and whitening prices are available to Taxidermist with a valid tax I.D. number.

In addition to cleaning your trophy, Mounts Unlimited Taxidermy provides custom skull mounting service. For the cost of the mount and labor, we will mount your trophy to a three piece walnut pedestal base. The rotation flexibility of the plaque allows your trophy to be displayed on the wall or as a pedestal.

Preparation Instructions:

• All skulls must be accompanied with the appropriate game tag identification attached if required for that species.
• The taxidermy tag or copy of your valid hunting license.
• No need to remove the hide or any material from the head or skull.
• I will properly prep the skull prior to placing it in with the beetles.
• When shipping any skulls it is best they are frozen solid and placed in a heavy duty plastic bag and sealed to prevent any leakage while in transit.
• Place the head / skull in the shipping box and properly surround the skull with packaging material like newspapers or bubble wrap. Make sure the skull is secure from moving around.
