Dermestid Beetles Skull Cleaning

Dermestid Beetles (or skin beetles) are tremendously efficent at removing anything around the skull that isn't bone.

All meat, cartilage and fat are completely consumed by the insects, leaving behind a prestine trophy with even the smallest and most delicate bones completely intact.

Their use for example, is optimal in leaving the notoriously fragile bones unscathed and where they belong.

Every single centimeter of your mount will be immaculate, giving you something you will be proud to display for years to come.

This is greatly superior to boiling, which is known for driving the fat into the bones, giving them an off-white, yellowish tint over time.

Boiling also comes with a risk, if overdone, the skull can crack and even fall apart (been there, done that)

It should also be noted that boiling does NOT remove the meat entirely, other tools are required to complete the process, drastically increasing the odds of damaging the more fragile areas of the skull.

A Euro mount takes up a lot less space than a shoulder mount , and can even be maneuvered and displaced to your heart's content, allowing you to fully apprecdiate it from any angle or height. Shoulder mounts are also much more expensive, and cost up to three to five times as much as a Euro mount.

European mounts have gained a staggering amount of popularity since the turn of the millenium, and the reason for it is simple.

When done right, they are beautifull, and they are timeless.
