Bleach works great It kills the bacteria and your good to go and It won't harm the skin. I just spray It on the effected parts and then wipe It off after a while. And for the most part green belly Isn't the big deal some seem to think It Is.

Good grief don’t ever use bleach or borax. You can’t undo damage, but get it salted ASAP and hope. You use Borax for taxidermy I know, I use it on different animals and birds .They started to use borax in place of Arsenic because it was killing too many people .You can tell by the smell of animals that was used on

The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.

Salt will ruin a hide if you plan on selling It through the auction system and I'm sure no country buyer will touch them.

I just stretch and dry green belly like any other hide. It is the belly souring, and discoloring the hide/saddle. If the hide is rotting the hair will slip, known as taint. I don't believe the bacteria can work any damage when dry?

Good grief don’t ever use bleach or borax. You can’t undo damage, but get it salted ASAP and hope. I put borax powder on the skin side of all my fox, bobcats, and coyotes. Before the sale, I also clean all the fur with borax powder. I also know a lot of other trappers that do the same thing. I don't know anyone who has had issues with it. Ive even received some of the highest prices on my cats using this method.
If traps work like the Antis say......I would have no fingers.

Why are you boraxing the skin side? Skipping the flip?
