Dermestid Beetle Setup

Events

South Lyon MI

Description

Colony of dermestid beetles used for skull cleaning and taxidermy work. I will be moving in a few days and decided taking them with may not be worthwhile for the skull work I'm doing now. There are a few thousand right now, will clean a possum in a couple days. They are in a heated and ventilated 7ft chest freezer. Has a vent to go out a window or can hook up a carbon filter. Right now they are in a freezing garage and an inkbird temp controller has them staying warm. I would like to get 300 for the entire setup given the cost and work in it. The colony is growing fast. Ideal for a hobbyist, but will scale to business level fairly quickly. If someone wants just the beetles I could work something out for that as well.
