I would venture to say that anyone who goes and collects raccoon testicles is in need of serious mental help.

I agree with Adrian that doesn't seem to be an iguana foot. I used to own four iguanas and I see iguanas almost everyday since there so common in Florida. That guys sick collecting dead animals and to top it off he has raccoon balls preserved. What a weirdo!!!

Maybe those in search of raccoon testicles just need more testosterone and didn't quite understand their doctor's instructions.

Oh I think I'm going to throw up! I feel so bad for those animals. Some people are really sick!!!

I don't get it. Assuming the animals involved were NOT killed for that purpose, then what is wrong with preserving the body or parts thereof? Why are you all so revolted by the idea.
Do none of you have any deceased herps in your freezer? I have 5 or 6 myself in my rodent freezer, the oldest having died almost 10 years ago. One of the items is an adult bearded dragon skeleton in the process of being cleaned. I got it 80% clean and froze it until I had more time.

Preserving a specimen that has died is common. Pretty much every person I know who has been keeping reptiles for a long time has at least a couple in the freezer. It's one of those things with reptile keepers, most of us don't bury them like we would a dog, they're not "pets" in the traditional sense of the word.

I like having preserved specimens, especially skeletal mounts. It's very educating, and can be a useful resourse. Aside from that I find a skeletal mount to be an interesting decoration if nothing else.
I never kill an animal for the purpose of preserving it, and according to the auction those animals died of natural causes. If that is indeed the case what's the big deal? If it's dead it's dead, what's wrong with preserving the body, whether just for display or for educational purposes, yours or others? It's either that or bury it or put it out with the trash, what's wrong with not letting it go to waste?

You folks must detest taxonomists and the herpetologists who discover new species. First thing they do is kill the first one they found as a holotype.

I think it's a lot to assume that they all died of natural causes. And to many, they ARE pets in every traditional sense of the word.

I understand that it can be educational to preserve and study dead animals, but selling them on Ebay is another story, and I really don't see what is very educational about raccoon nuts in a jar, but hey, to each their own.

That said, no, I don't have any herpsicles in my freezer, and do not plan to have any......
