Do a search on the phrase "bleaching skulls" and you will find many sites with information on various methods, like this one:
http://cals.arizona.edu/pubs/natresources/az1144.pdf
Also, you will see sites that sell KITS for bleaching skulls without harsh chemicals, etc.

Check out the links below. It's from the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at the University of Arizona. It describes how to bleach animals skulls.
The first link is the article in PDF and the second link is a standard HTML page.
Hope it helps. Good luck!

Once all the meat is removed, and insects are the best way. Leave it in the sun for a couple of months, rotating it every few days to get a good uniform color.

I put them on an ants nest to get them to clean it off for a few weeks, they usually clean it right up, then if you leave it in the sun it further gets bleached by the sun.

Soak them in bleach for a day. If you live somewhere with bright sunlight, let them set in the sun for a few days after you have soaked them and it will whiten them up even more

you're not going to like this.. but...boil em, then put em in a vat of maggots for a couple days n let em get picked clean.
Then take em out, lay em in the sun for about three days, soak it for a day in a water/bleach solution, lay em in the sun for another 3 days, and you're good to go.
basicly, the same as a human skull.
