Still preserving heads with the skull intact? You're wasting shelf space. Skull removal reduces volume, improves pickling consistency, and allows for more specimens per cabinet. Modern preservation techniques exist for a reason. #tatemobb@Cobratate
Removing the skull before preservation offers several advantages: reduced storage volume, faster brine penetration, lower jar costs, and easier long-term display.
Traditionalists may object, but efficiency matters when maintaining a serious collection.
