Hi Roswell! I have a question about bones. Specifically, an opossum skull. I have one. And I would like to keep it. And I’m under the impression you might know how to clean bones? (It’s already pretty sunbleached and stuff, I’m just not sure where to go from there.) Do you have any recommendations/suggestions? (Also, sorry this is so out of the blue.)

If you can, DM me some pictures so I can get a better idea of what needs done!

If it’s sunbleached and doesn’t look to have any meat on it, it’s clean! Bones don’t really hold germs any more than rocks do, and the sun is an excellent disinfectant. I have multiple skulls and bones that got no cleaning other than a quick rinse to remove any bugs.
