*PLEASE READ*
To protect the fragility of the piece and comply with shipping guidelines, your wet specimen will be shipped to you without alcohol. The specimen will be packaged in a sealed bag with sufficient alcohol to keep it hydrated during the journey. Each specimen has already been fixed with formalin.
What do I do when I get my specimen? Upon receiving your wet specimen in the mail, we advise having the proper alcohol ready to go. 70% isopropyl alcohol is what we prefer to use with wet specimens. Because each specimen was fixed with formalin, gloves are highly recommended when placing your specimen back in its jar. After positioning to your liking, fill the jar with 70% isopropyl alcohol, making sure the specimen is fully submerged.
A few reminders for your wet specimen:
-Keep specimen away from direct sunlight and heat sources (alcohol and formalin are flammable)
-No part of the specimen or alcohol should be consumed. Keep away from children and animals.
-The alcohol can evaporate or change color over time. Your specimen should remain fully submerged in the alcohol. Use gloves when changing out the fluid.
You will receive the exact item pictured.
*Please note that shipping at checkout is an estimate. Final shipping costs are not calculated until the order is fully packed. This may increase the shipping rate for larger orders or oversized items and you would be invoiced for any additional shipping costs. We do not make money off of shipping and strive to ship all items in the most cost effective and safest way possible.
