[QUOTE="Kendall_, post: 482050, member: 37281"] Something new I am trying. Picked up a few vials at Hobby Lobby cheap. [IMG]http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/06/6f406cdc966a65798b79370300ac8d2b.jpg[/IMG] First I tried doing just alcohol to preserve them but they just sank to the bottom and rolled around [IMG]http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/06/75fd52fc4fef52f9c299a95da44e8708.jpg[/IMG] So I read around and found some people use hand sanitizer to suspend them so I gave that a shot and it worked out great. Only thing is, people say to boil it (vial with sanitizer and bug in it placed in boiling water) but that bursted the spiders abdomen (why they look a hair dirty) so I used a hypodermic needle to remove bubbles. Also can be a pain to position the legs if the spider is curled but it's do able. [IMG]http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/06/5604c8d7302505a2525b9fefb2fd9006.jpg[/IMG] Far right is still in alcohol [IMG]http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/06/b12200931599ddbd0ecfc718eef495fa.jpg[/IMG] Sent from my SCH-R970C using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
