When I was younger I would collect road kill and boil the skeletons to look at. and I found a pretty cool site that has replica reptile skeletons/skulls. http://www.boneclones.com/BC-118.htm kinda pricey though.

Other than the ones in my closet (which I didn't collect BTW, they materialized there) ? ... nope.

My brother used to keep a horse and a fox's jaw and a frog's skeleton that was perfectly intact.

Interesting! I should head over to the parent's place. I've got my Curly-tailed lizard buried somewhere from when I was 8. It's only 10 acres:)

I have lots of bones. I love them! ... I live close to the woods and am always finding cool pieces. My favorite so far is coming across a whole cow skeleton. Pig jaws are pretty awsome too. Ive got crow skulls, coyote bones, raccoon, fox, ground hog, goat, cat, squirrel, deer, antlers, etc.. ---I love collecting them. AND feathers.

I've got a 'coon skull. I find carrion somewhat often though and after looking over the posted site I think I may keep some next year (cleaned of course). Last year I found a coyote that I wish I'd drug decapitated. I've thought about trying taxidermy with roadkill but it's never seemed that urgent and for some reason I've been putting it off.

Did anyone look at the tuatara skull on the site? Not at all what I'd expected.
