    Thank you! this video was great! I found a dead Painted turtle while Kayaking and being a collector of shells on the beach wanted to know how I might preserve this one’s shell. Your video is very helpful and has stopped me from making a mistake by boiling it or trying to cut the turtle out. I appreciate that you have used a natural way of preserving the shell and am glad I will be able to do the same.

    Make sure its stays in a spot where the sun can reach it and leave it there about 2months.

    Smell, well the two with the scutes have a slight smell, but you have to stick your noes right there to smell it. So bringing inside is okay.

    The one without the scutes has no smell at all. I think the scutes is what has the smell.
