Wet specimen & mummy care

After Care for Wet Specimens

All of my wet specimens are fixed in formalin by me
Everything is leeched in distilled water and then stored in 70% isopropyl alcohol
Upon arrival your wet will be wrapped in paper towel soaked in 70% iso, if a jar is provided just top it off with more 70% iso or find a suitable jar and top it off that way.
After about a year the alcohol is expected to yellow, this is normal, the alcohol can be changed and dumped down the sink. The specimen can even be rinsed if you see fit.
Keep wet specimens out of the sun and away from heaters as isopropyl alcohol is flammable.
Keep wet specimens away and out of reach of children and pets

Mummies are wet specimens that have all the moisture drawn out
If the specimen is very small it may not be formalin fixed and just dried that way. This applies to feet sometimes as well.
Mummies are very picky, they do not like sunlight, heat, humidity, etc. They are kind of like jerky. All mummies are suspectable to bugs, shedding and moisture in uncontrolled environments.
I try to make all my mummies encased to protect it from the elements, but sometimes it doesn't work.
Mummies should be frozen at least twice a year, either for one week on one week off then one week on again or for 2 weeks total, this should be done around warmer and more humid months (ex. beginning and end of summer, middle of spring and middle of fall, etc.)
Diatomaceous earth, borax and pet and plant safe bug spray are okay to use on mummies
Keep mummies AWAY FROM CHILDREN AND PETS
