As for taxidermy, it's not for me. There is a trade in which small reptiles and insects are encased in lucite but I have not seen that done for owners and keepers. It's a bit tacky IMHO.
Some people have expressed a desire to keep the shell. I think it needs to be buried for a short while, then dug up.
