In my opinion

I personally found it easier to remove the shell much like youi would on a turtle, and flesh out the shell good. Then, flesh out the bottom section containing feet, head, ect ect. Either use filler, or substrrate of your choice to fill out the cavities and rewbuild the head. The tail can be split on the botom, and cleaned out with a dremel tool, and then soaked in denatured alcohol for a few days. You can also segment the tail by cutting off each individual segment, cleaning, and tyhen wiring back together again. They are a pain in the ass, and somebody might have an easier way. Dont know why somebody has not molded the tails before and come out with an artificial one!


On the tail

Use a small wire pipe brush in a hand drill/ dremel tool for an easy clean out of the tail.
