[QUOTE="Hagraven, post: 224861, member: 39019"] I'm sorry to hear of your loss. No words can rightly address the ache of missing a loved pet. I have some limited experience with taxidermy but that is exclusive to mammals unfortunately. If I can offer anything, I would suggest (if you haven't already) to seal up in a bag or container and freeze your spider. This way, you can take your time to find the taxidermist (or other comparable solution) that works for you. This method works really well for vertebrates and I'm assuming it would do fine for invertebrates. Also (again I apologize, I'm speaking only from a point of working on vertebrates) if you do decide to wet preserve, make sure to puncture the specimen with something like a needle in a few places to better allow the liquid to saturate the specimen, taking care of course to be gentle so as not to cause visible damage. All the best & good luck [/QUOTE]
