PRESERVING A SPECKLED RATTLESNAKE - An Exceptionally Rare Wet Specimen

So this was one animal I lost due to the blizzard here in Texas. An exceptional animal that I loved and had an amazing story to him. I decided to preserve him due to how amazing he was.

Hi! I found 30 years old vipera berus my grandpa had put in alcohol in a bottle. I was thinking of putting it in a prettier bottle and 70% alcohol as the liquid is yellowish and dirty. It’s sitting in a pretty position but I’m worried I might not be able to put it in the same position in a new bottle after breaking the old one. Any suggestions? Or maybe the jar is the only option? Thanks in advance.

I wouldn’t try and reposition it. And with it being older, go ahead and invest the money into getting some formalin rather than using 70% isopropyl alcohol

How do you know how much formalin for inject? Thank you. (:

Thanks for this! We have a large collection of snakes here in Tx. Unfortunately we rescued a boa who was in horrible conditions for too long and we are close to losing her. After a few years of her fighting really hard and us making really long trips back and forth to the only exotic vet in the area we have decided it may be more humane to let pass on now. I'm hoping to preserve her if we are unable to find a solution. She was our first rescue and very loved!

Why not taxidermy it?

[@MaxWildlifePhotographer]

To be honest, my personal skill level.
I didn’t want to try something new with something this rare.
