TW!! I found these beetles on a dead deer, what are they?
I’ve never seen these beetles before, I’m in New York. They don’t seem like local beetles? What kind of beetles are they?

His shell has been a brownish orange color since I got him but for some reason his shell is turning pinkish? Why is he turning pink?
He’s trying to leave me I’m pretty sure. He has barely talked to me in three days and he keeps saying he’s not going to. Idk what to do. I feel like it’s too late to do anything now but idk. He’s just being so distant and kinda mean to me sometimes. I used to be his baby but not anymore. He used to like talking to me and hanging out with me but now I have to BEG him to talk to me and hang out with me. Idk anymore. It just fucking sucks. Yesterday I made a joke and I said “your future wife will think I’m crazy” and he just agreed, so I know we’re not getting married ever. And when I was talking about getting a house together he didn’t really say anything. I really feel like we’re about to break up. Idk what to do…
This is very humorous to me. Why would they do this? Don’t they know they can move faster than a snail? 😂
Going everywhere but where they are supposed to go!
For context I was checking enclosure for eggs, at first I was content with letting them just stay there but then one snail decided he didn’t wanna be in the tank so I moved them all to a little tank and I guess didn’t put the lid on all the way and this little guy I guess was like “you can’t contain me mother!!”
These guys love to explore. Such silly fellas :)
I’m not exactly new to snail owning in general, I have had these snails for over a year now, like 14 months just about.
Out of my year of owning these guys, I have never seen them get it on or try to. So I’m unsure what it really looks like. I just wanna make sure I am correct on my assumption cuz it would be horrible if that is a parasite!
Also that is Velociraptor (tanish brown) and Tractor (dark brown)!
Thank you!
It’s been like this for like 3 weeks outside and before it was in my basement and I tried to get my dermestid beetles to eat it but they ALL died and I have no idea why. So I just threw it outside in the bin and started hoping maybe maggots would eat it. I was really hoping I wouldn’t have to skin it cuz I don’t want to. But will I have to? I really don’t know what else to do at this point. I’ve been trying to get it to decompose for a month now and it’s just staying the same! I can skin it if yall really think I have to.
(I’m also NEW to this so don’t be mean please!)
