So we recently found a freshly dead, perfectly intact bullsnake on the side of the highway, and I am wanting to preserve him in a jar, but cannot seem to obtain any formaldehyde or formalin here without ordering it online. So I read that preserving in just isopropyl alcohol can work, if you inject it throughout the body as well. So I did, and he is sitting in a jar looking so perfect most of my friends thought he was still alive. But it's only been a couple days, and after doing some more research I've found some conflicting articles saying that even introducing alcohol into the body cavity before submerging in alcohol is not sufficient for preserving, that the specimen will continue to rot internally over time. Him being such a perfect and awesome looking specimen, I really really do not want to risk this happening, but is there anything else I can do now? If I leave him as is in the alcohol will he stay preserved and looking "alive", or over time will he rot or change in any way? And if so, is it too late for me to rinse him and freeze him, to be stored until the formaldehyde arrives so I can "fix" him before returning him to the jar of alcohol? And will the alcohol already injected into him interfere with freezing or trying to inject him with formaldehyde? Any help or advice would be hugely appreciated as there is not anyone in town that does this kind of thing that can answer my questions, and I know time is of the essence when preserving something dead. Thank you!
