Hi, try biotex presoak powder from certain supermarkets - pour just off
the boil water over, wait until down to 35 degrees or so, sprinkle and
stir (or make a solution) If you can leave somewhere warm it is quicker
but works room/greenhouse temps. Change water and repeat after a couple
of days or so - depends on size of specimen, temp, concentration etc etc
- play it by ear (or smell!).

The head is likely to have been removed so it will probably be just the spinal column and tail. I'm hoping of a solution that will allow me to process on a large scale (50 to a 100 specimens) and dermestid beetles are not an option.
