How would I go about having my pet scorpion preserved after it dies? Preferably in acrylic, or glass.?

Question

My boyfriend wants to know. He purchased a paperweight with an actual Scorpion in it. He would like to do the same for his pet after it dies.

Answer 1

epoxide is the stuff for this. i dont have the manual at hand. i suggest he tries it out on dead spiders because it is not easy to avoid bubbles. and the object must not cntain any traces of water. when mine scorpion died i just let him dry - nicely positioned - and put him in a glass little box on wall, like a framed picture (also i have seen butterflies in between petri dishes like this) i did not try to overlay him in any substance, because i feared i could ruin it. and meanwhile please enjoy the fact that it is living, rather then planning its funeral details and later use of the body...
