Armadillo Tail

Have your walls been looking a little bland lately? How about an armadillo tail to liven things up? I mean, seriously, have you ever seen one used as home decor? Now is your chance to start a whole new trend.

All joking aside, this mounted armadillo tail created by Den Of Dermestid has rave reviews for its unique preservation and presentation mounted on a 7” x 5” plaque and is one of several truly curious items in their Etsy shop.

Based in Florida and selling predominantly bones, skulls, specimens, and some very unique jewelry pieces and shadow box creations, there are some things on here we’ve never seen anywhere else. A few standouts are their collections of alligator scutes, an iguana skin shadow box, and a curiosity cloche crafted from a turtle shell.

The seller notes that their skulls are beetle-cleaned.

Fun fact - hundreds of dermestid beetles are often used to clean skulls and skeletons for everything from taxidermy to research, forensics, and museum applications.
