Garter snake. Tips?

Found this today, and I was curious if anyone here had suggestions on how to possibly proceed with it? I’ve macerated/cleaned mammals before, but I’ve never had a chance to do something with a reptile. It’s extremely dried out as it was out during a heatwave we just had. I also know maceration can kind of ruin snakes (or small ones at least?)

First post here!

Hello. I’ve been a long time lurker here. (27f)

I guess I’m finally posting because I’ve been feeling rather isolated. I wish I could accept this part of myself. I don’t see it as shameful or wrong when it’s anyone else, but I cannot deny the sinking feeling I get as I get older and more and more people question why I’m not with someone.

From a very young age, I told everyone I would never marry or date, because it was not for me, and to this day I still feel the same. I’m a virgin, have never dated, have never kissed anyone, and frankly I don’t care- but god people sure love to give me hell over that. I’ve been called a fair few names and of course have been told my whole life I’ll grow out of it/meet the right guy. I’m sure plenty of you here have probably experienced similar. I’ve also pretty much been told I’m ace because I’m an unattractive woman, so I subconsciously “have given up”

I also don’t think my family believes in asexuality.

So! I guess id just really like to hear from others (especially my age or older) on a few things. To people that had trouble accepting this part of them at one point, what helped?
I suppose that’s the main thing, besides the fact that I’m feeling very isolated. I have a couple good friends, but neither are ace and simply cannot relate to me in that.
