Does anyone have access to mite free beetles, or contacts for beetles, to do Texas mount or European mount skulls? I am interested in starting a colony of beetles.

If you contact this company
http://www.skullsunlimited.com/ they might be able to help.
They did a bear skull for me and it came out far better than boiling. Doug |

Not personally but I started having all my animals done this way because I don't have room to display them all. I have the capes tanned and the skulls "beetled" and put in storage. I can then later display the animal as a European mount or have it cut and shoulder mounted.
